Hi,
first you should make sure that the decoders are receiving the right 
data, so
if you dump audio and video separately with:

mplayer -dumpvideo -dumpfile video.m2v <STREAM>
mplayer -dumpaudio -dumpfile audio.mp2 <STREAM>

and play them what happens?
Are the two streams identical to the original file demuxed?
