I would argue that your energy might be better spent on properly
modularizing the codec support in mplayer, but having dealt with that
upstream in the past, I suspect your energy might be better spent not
working on mplayer at all.
These might be true. However there is no policy in Fedora to prohibit
packaging a legally acceptable version of mplayer.
Stefan asks the question "How?" but you are giving an advise by
answering the question "Should I?" or "Is it worth?". I am sure that
if Stefan needed this advise he would have asked for it.
So... "How?"
