OK, so we need to find someone who knows more about SELinux than I do to
define the correct context for the codecs would be my guess....  You
might want to set it to permissive to see it work, then post the exact
"denied" messages, perhaps to the selinux mailing list, and someone can
probably tell you the chcon command to use to "fix it"....

My bad.  I use xine and just assumed that mplayer itself was probably in
Extras and just the "questionable codecs" were in livna....  That's what
happens when you just turn on lots of repo's, you forget where the stuff
comes from....  Sorry for the mislead....
