It "seems"? No, it's a fact. You can demonstrate it easily.

  $ rpm -qpR mplayer-1.0-0.97.20080903svn.fc9.1.i386.rpm|grep smb
  libsmbclient.so.0  

And with an extracted /usr/bin/mplayer:

  $ ldd mplayer|grep smb
  libsmbclient.so.0 => /usr/lib/libsmbclient.so.0 (0x065a3000)

Now, to answer your question, complete the rest of the exercise yourself
and find out where/how exactly the smbclient lib is used inside mplayer.
