That is a bug and has been fixed with around SVN r29847 (actually the
mplayer.c commit a few revisions before is the critical one, but that
and the other one are useful/important, too).

Probably due to missing PMT or some other breakage in the stream,
MPlayer seems unable to determine the format of the audio stream.
Probably the same problem that causes the file not to play at all
without -demuxer lavf.

Probably "fixed" with -nocorrect-pts. I guess the file is broken in a
way that causes a frame to have a very long duration, and particularly
with -correct-pts MPlayer will be happy with any frame duration even
if it is beyond the end of universe.
