These lines are kinda odd... Are you sure it's a genuine WebM file?
WebM files, according to wikipedia, should only contain a VP8 encoded video track and a Vorbis stream audio track. Here mplayer reports a RAWDV video track and a RAWDV audio track.
I recommend you to upgrade mplayer first (a 2008 compiled version is not even old, it's ancient) and then, if that file is still unplayable, we will look again at the issue.
yeah , my RHEL does not have official repository . I used some free ones to get this compiled mplayer from repo .
Compiling from source tarball is tedious .
I will try latest mplayer binary on free support distros like ubuntu etc.
