 In an un-compressed zip, mplayer might be finding the file inside by
scanning for something it recognizes, treating the zip headers as
cruft, rather than actually understanding them.

mpv, a fork of mplayer2 that's diverged a bit, can play all the files
out of a .rar, including ones it finds while traversing a directory,
if you put one on the cmdline.  It does NOT do that for .zip, though :/
