As seen on http://mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/info.html , "Supported 
Video Output Devices [...] /caca:/ text mode rendering in color".
So driver is already part of mplayer.
What you need next is to compile libcaca from source under mingw32, then 
to compile mplayer with appropriate options.

If you are looking for binaries, as said, I guess noone ever spreaded 
binaries for win32, and if you are looking for complete command lines to 
compile everything from scratch, I guess won't find much people.

(Use debian, default repository includes libcaca and effects, and 
well-known repository distributing mplayer has building libcaca output 
support)

Anyway, good luck ;)
