I am still confused. I downloaded all-20050412.tar which is supposed
to have the codecs. Untared this and put the files contained in
all-20050412 directory in /usr/lib/win32

This is not a codec problem, You need to have the mplayerplug-in
installed. Probably from dag or livna repositories.
Here is what I have installed, mplayerplug-in-2.80-13.1.fc3.rf
