Add it and try again. Your system should be fast enought to play almost all
files
but without this option it is possible that some frames are displayed to
early or
to late.

I found the problem.

The easiest thing would be to use the binary packages from mingw.org.
To get mplayer compiled you also need all the updates they provide and
dx7header as well as sys/types.h from
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/MPlayer/releases/win32-beta/contrib/
You also have to install msys.
Then you can ./configure mplayer with the msys console.
