CentOS - May 2007 - MPlayer doesn't seem to work right in CentOS 5

I could be mixed up here, but I have mplayer working perfectly at home
in CentOS 4.4, but I just built it here at work for CentOS 5.0 and it
doesn't produce any sound.

My h/w:
00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High
Definition Audio Controller (rev 01)
Dell Precision 390
Intel Pentium 4 3.00GHz
2Gb RAM

The sound from Adobe/Macromedia flash player works fine (in seamonkey)
- should I be telling mplayer to build for i386 instead of x86_64?  I
have pulled down all the codecs I could find, so . . .?

Please for the love of god stop building things yourself, as you're
clearly not able to succeed. Mplayer works just fine on centos5, and
is readily installable from the RPMForge repository. Dag, dries and
others put plenty of effort into having a solid product which works
with RHEL and CentOS. The least you can do is use their packages.
