use in Mplayer produce this error, Why?

It's the correct mail for post this? If, it's not ok... Please Sorry!!! And

It's a new feature, no¿?

This directory doesn't exist in incoming, so I can't check your files. Anyway,
have you tried renaming RLAPEDec.ax to rlapedec.ax (upper case to lower case)
because that's what mplayer seems to be looking for.

I reupload the files...
I test renaming RLAPEDec.ax to rlapedec.ax (upper case to lower case) but it
doesn't work!!!

This is because the decoder is not only a decoder but also a demuxer (it tries
to read the itself, MPlayer only supports filters that take a stream an decode it).
Unfortunaltely the code is not under a license that is compatible with MPlayer
so I guess there will be no support for it (See also
