MPlayer from Freshrpms has no audio on some but not all movie files, and also some video corruption. I also have VIA 82xx AC97 sound card and am using the same codecs (tarball from mplayerhq.hu) as with FC4.
I removed all mplayer rpms I had downloaded from the fedora extra and livna respository. Then installed the standard rpms from mplayerhq.hu rpm -ivh --nodeps mplayer* mencoder* works just fine. The --nodeps i necessary, I got some dependency error due to mplayer wanting some XFree86-libs.
ok, this sounds like an Livna mplayer bug. they have their own bugtracker at http://bugzilla.livna.org/
