Mplayer no sound from quicktime movies

Trying to play some Apple Quicktime movies and getting video but no sound,

Mplayer's output:

Requested audio codec family [qclp] (afm=qtaudio) not available.
Enable it at compilation.
Cannot find codec for audio format 0x706C6351.
Read DOCS/HTML/en/codecs.html!
Audio: no sound

So it seems I'm missing some quicktime codec or header file. I made sure all of my codecs in /usr/lib/codecs/ were up to date and complete.

I also tried building mplayer with ABS and adding --enable-qtx to the configure options, but it failed to build. Any ideas?
