slower? in the subject you're saying faster

if it is faster without audio, maybe it's because your soundcard doesn't
support 48000Hz, and so you're playing at 44,1KHz, converted with the
speed-loss

I think this one is a weird behaviour of mplayer, but since there's an
option to correct it... Let's try it:

mplayer -aop list=resample:fout=44100 yourmovie.avi
