Maybe add --enable-qtx-codecs to mplayer's configure and add their QT binary codecs to the win32codecs package? I believe this would enable mplayer to play Sorenson V3 encoded movies.

bump. Was about to submit a bug with this request and the howto link. Would you like me to get the ebuild and QT dll digests working?
I pretty much have it done. However I think you'll need to have the Quicktime dlls added to the win32codecs ebuild. That win32codecs package is under the domain of the gentoo. I could also edit up a new win32codecs ebuild to download it separately. Let me know what you think is best.

I do not see the use of this, as with mplayer-0.90_rc1-r1 you already have that support ... all you need is the QT codecs.

Well the 0.90_rc1-r1 ebuild doesn't specify the --enable-qtx-codecs flag. Perhaps those are set by default by mplayer's Quicktime howto indicated otherwise. And yes the Quicktime codecs do need to be added win32codecs. Someone on bug #11136 said they were already in 0.90.1 but my tests indicate otherwise. I suppose we should continue this discussion on bug #11136

Fixed.
