w32codecs are in non-free/w32codecs IIRC. "Phonon backend" is a kde thing, no kde here. Another thing that works is go to the mplayer homepage and download one of the codecs packages, extract the codecs, and put them in /usr/lib/codecs (create it if it doesn't exist). Then install mplayer. It just occurred to me I have the debian-multimedia sources in /etc/apt/ sources.list, too: deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free Probably a good idea...
