I found a strange problem with that codec. mplayer is looking for codecs
in /usr/lib/win32, instead of in /usr/share/mplayer. But that's minor. I
do have codecs in both locations. I do have the file permissions on
those codecs in ...win32.

But, I have to be root in order for mplayer to find those codecs. Did
the suid code get goofed up? As normal user, divxa32.acm isn't found.
Least for me.
