I am running yum-2.0.5-1 though I can't remember if I upgraded yum after 
though, so it probably works now. It took me a few days to figure out why 
mozilla stopped working.

I know I didn't have too much trouble installing mplayer. The only issues I 
came across occurred if you have the x86_64 package already installed and 
some file conflicts. I don't know how yum would be able to work around this 
and repackaging lots of i386 libraries just for x86_64 would be a lot of 
work.
