I don't understand that reaction to packaging.  mplayer uses a variety 
of libraries to support a large variety of media types.  It doesn't 
include servers or SUID binaries, so it doesn't carry a significant 
security risk, and it doesn't consume much disk space.  It doesn't make 
any more sense that complaining about the number of files in a package. 
(NOTE: "filesystem" contains 15000+ files!  DON'T REMOVE IT!)

If you want to support mp3 only, then try mpg123 or madplay

mpg123 installed from the nux repo and runs, but I'm not getting any 
audio.  It looks like I may be missing drivers or something.  When I run 
mpg123 in verbose mode, I get this:

Audio driver: alsa
Audio device: <none>

Any suggestions as to where to go from here?

What is your audio device?  Are you sure it's supported?

(The lshw command will tell you what hardware you have.)
