Well, you were sort of right. MPlayer is not merely a standalone app. It's also a command-line tool installed into the system that can be accessed by other apps. There is some confusion because the official application based on this command-line tool is also simply called "MPlayer". Installing MPlayer (the app) will install the command-line tool in the system (I...think). Then installing the codec pack will enhance that tool. Be sure to install the codec pack AFTER you install MPlayer.

One thing I know for sure is that other apps, such as ffmpegX, also make use the of MPlayer tool, and installing that codec pack will benefit them as well as the MPlayer application.
