You should be much more specific about compilation errors!, and please have a look at the developer maillist on the mplayer site. (search x86_64)
I have the same MB as you have, but with a Geforce2. It runs well with kernel 2.6.3 and the 1.0-5332 NVidia driver.
About mplayer: the code is 64-bit clean and should compile well in 64-bit mode. I have modified, compiled and run etc. the 1.0-pre3 version extensively, so may be you should step back to this defined/stable version.
It should be noted that the 64-bit version is slower than a well configured 32-bit version. For example converting PAL MPEG2 -> MPEG4+MP3 is more than twice as fast in 32-bit mode.

And I assume you also can only get win32 dlls support(thus quicktime,etc) from 32bit version(I use 32bit rpms from the apt repository, they seem to be just fine). Btw, I didn't have much luck(=none) getting replies about compilation errors on mplayer-users...Maybe I'll try posting them here someday :) When compiling in 64bit mode, it doesn't seem to really recognize the cpu and doesn't enable even half of the possible extensions...
