MPlayer depends indeed on NVDAgraphics which contains the mentioned library.

Installing the above mentioned package solves the issue.

If there is no NVidia card MPlayer works without an issue.

I do not envision removing the support of this hardware as it will diminish the features of the program.

Then surely you are planning to document that fact and add a note about it.
I'll modify that as a packaging issue, if you don't mind.

Do yourself as you ask others to do.
