Of course theoretically someone can always negotiate a set of licenses to include, respectively, mplayer and a myriad of associated codecs into the distro. But I envision Solaris to be an enterprise OS, & there are definitely other much more important things for Sun's developers to spend their time & mind on. In Linux, you have to first add an appropriate repository, then execute an apt-get, yum, yast, or whathaveyou, command to install mplayer. This is much easier said than done. The one-line command is the next best thing. That said, I really would like to see the multimedia packages installed in /opt, so I can move them around.
