I think he would still need to compile a 32-bit mplayer/ffmpeg (in a
32-bit chroot) to be able to make use of them. Multilib would let him
run 32-bit mplayer or ffmpeg binaries (which themselves would be able
to use the 32-bit DLLs). But I don't think 64-bit mplayer/ffmpeg can
call 32-bit DLLs.

There is an amd64codecs package containing the 64-bit codecs, but it
has been masked and made obsolete by the fact that mplayer/ffmpeg can
natively do most (or all?) of those codecs these days.
