Toss this in your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
That'll set you up for what used to be informally known as the Marillat
repository, maintained by Christian Marillat <marillat at debian.org>.
It's a very convenient repository of all of the multimedia bits you'd
want for Debian, such as mplayer, ffmpeg, mjpeg, mythtv, and friends.
