I can't remember as it was in 2007 but it would be irrelevant as it
depends on what options you choose and whether you need to statically
link libraries.

For some NAS platforms with their own flavour of Linux, it was necessary
to statically link libraries to mplayer which increased its size greatly
but meant binaries could be distributed.

Mplayer can support many different audio and video codecs and transport
protocols.  If you restrict the number of codecs - you can reduce size
of binary as well.

For video playback, alternatives you should also consider ffmpeg (which
is v. close to mplayer in terms of code) or VLC as I think they may have
a better build system.
