It is not only a problem with mplayer but also with xine.
Somtimes the flickering is more and even the tv stops for a while and sound and video become asynchronous, sometimes it is less.
I got the advice to get more cache memory or reduce the image size?
How should I do this.
Another hint might be that WintTV-HVR-1100 chip use was  changed this year internally named WnTV-HVR-1110
The software-changes in linuxtv were made in November/December this year.
Maybe it was not totally tested.
Should I reduce the system load of other application like mlnet?
