I see your are looking for what goes in /usr/lib/win32 - I think they 
are called
"essentials".  They are like to be hard to find and consist of about 50 
file.dlls that work in linux.

Fedora Info

essential-20061022.tar.bz2 - ? "http://www.mininova.org/tor/484555"

"http://englanders.cc/~jason/howtos.php?howto=mplayer"

Good luck at find them

And for you RPM types.  A absolutely fresh SuSE 10.2 load would not play 
audio but the amarok GUI would come up only as root.  I had to fix it by 
compiling xine-lib (the above essentials installed). With all of the CD 
audio/video devel headers.  Then, taglibs (which fails to compile) and 
for xine-lib - libdvdcss (which is not available on SuSE's CDs)
Finally, amarok-1.4.5.  Glad to say SuSE's RPM is fixed

The new Amarok works like a charm.  Thanks to the Amarok Developers!
