I think the idea is to explicitly say that there is a 64 bit codec
package and at least for real there is no need to compile a 32 bit
MPlayer (probably the 32 and 64 bit codecs also have the same name which
makes things even more confusing, so it might be worth saying that they
aren't the same despite the same name).
