Hi, I am install mplayer package on my x86_64 system, but, i observe, that it depend on win32 codecs package, but based on information from official mplayer site, 64bit version of mplayer is not support win32 codecs. codecs is big package, and I think that this dependency should be removed for 64bit mplayer package.
This task depends upon

In addition, also I think that 'codecs' package should be removed from x86_64 extra repos as non-needed.

IIRC, codecs is not only not needed, it isn't properly supported.
