MPlayer Codecs

I'm running Mandriva 2005 LE and I just installed it on this laptop. I have downloaded the win32 (Windows All) package from the mplayer website so that my Kaffeine player will play .wmv files. However I cannot remember where I need to extract the contents of the package to, as in, where are the Kaffeine or xine codecs kept?

I think they are located in /usr/lib/xine/plugins/1.0.0, but I'm not sure and wanted to ask first.

I put codecs in /usr/lib/win32

I found easy URPMI website, made it really easy. Thanks though.

I'm in the process of adding sources using Easy URPMI right now. Certainly will make getting to sources much easier however, I don't see what that has to do with putting codecs in the right directories. Have I missed the boat on this? Care to comment? Thanks.
