There are no major bugs with jack and mplayer has had working jack

that's a pretty big call to make. I didn't find any optional packages
with yum search.
In my experience mplayer and the likes is compiled without jack support
on almost any distro, I guess mainly because jack is a pretty
specialised application. Most users of mplayer won't need it, most
packagers won't know it. It's as simple as that.

Jack is included in fedora core IIUC so I have no idea
why anyone
would compile mplayer without jack support.
Why not ask them? I imagine you'd find either some bug, or they
wanted to promote some other audio interface, or they've made it an
optional package.
