strange, maybe it has got a computer virus ;)

from man mplayer:
       -cache <kbytes>
              This  option  specifies how much memory (in kbytes)
              to use when precaching a file/URL.  Especially use­
              ful on slow media (default is -nocache).

4 kbytes is about less than a second...

try setting a larger value (e.g. -cache 32536 which i use to play dvds, 
works fine)
