CentOS - Oct 2009 - can't "yum install mplayer" : no libmpcdec.so.3 available

Just upgraded to 5.4 yesterday morning.  (Kudos to those who did that!)
That's probably irrelevant to this problem:

"yum install mplayer" fails.  Here's what happens:

================================================= # yum install mplayer

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: package-cleanup --problems
                        package-cleanup --dupes
                        rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
=================================================
Yep, I did run"

# package-cleanup --dupes
Setting up yum
giflib-4.1.3-7.1.el5.1.i386
giflib-4.1.3-7.1.el5_3.1.i386
# rpm -qa |grep giflib
giflib-4.1.3-7.1.el5.1
giflib-4.1.3-7.1.el5_3.1
giflib-devel-4.1.3-7.1.el5_3.1

so erased giflib-4.1.3-7.1.el5.1.i386, but still got the same from yum


=================================================# package-cleanup --problems
Setting up yum
Reading local RPM database
Processing all local requires
No problems found
=================================================
Maybe removing the above dupes fixed it???  Nope, "yum install
mplayer"
still flipped me an error.  So then tried:

=================================================# yum install --skip-broken
mplayer

Packages skipped because of dependency problems:
    mplayer-1.0-0.34.rc1try2.fc6.i386 from freshrpms
    mplayer-fonts-1.1-3.fc.noarch from freshrpms
    nas-1.9.1-2.el5.i386 from epel
=================================================
This looks like it might be the cause:

# rpm -ql libmpcdec
/usr/lib/libmpcdec.so.5
/usr/lib/libmpcdec.so.5.0.2
/usr/share/doc/libmpcdec-1.2.6
... <snip> ...

i.e., the dependency is already installed, but the installed version is
higher than what's requested... or the dependency is misspecified
(libmpcdec.so.3)...(?)

and/or liblirc/liblirc_client and libaudio aren't available (at least in
the repos my yum is set up for.


What to do.. what to do??

freshrpms has no packages for CentOS. And never had.
