Generally, I've not had to use any.

I haven't had to do so.  "mplayer something.avi" "mplayer something.mpg"
"mplayer something.mov" have all worked just as simply as that.

There should also be some sort of mplayer-gui package (or command, it
might be included in the base package).  I haven't installed mplayer the
way that you did, though; but it works in the same way once installed.
