I believe it would be a good idea to move to one of these sources (I would prefer tar downloads myself) and use a newer more robust (probably) version of mplayer2.
That's what was used in mplayer.bb (without 2 in oe-classic days),
mplayer2 was more active and better alternative at that time so only
mplayer2 was migrated from oe-classic.

If mplayer(1) is alive again, then I would accept patch replacing
mplayer2 or you can restore it as mplayer.bb and keep both alternatives.
