Not strange at all, actually mplayer can use OpenGL.
# mplayer -vo gl
I think mplayer will go through available output drivers till it finds
one available. So in some cases opengl output may occur. Although if
you installed properly from RPMFusion/Livna I don't think should
happen.

As I recall the "nouveau" driver was not shipped as default in Fedora
9, which I think the OP is using.
I found nouveau pretty functional for 2D without any problems in
F11-64 on my Geforce 5200.
