time mplayer -benchmark -ao pcm -aofile audio.wav -vo null -vc yummy \
  firefly.\(1x04\).jaynestown.nbs.sharereactor.mpg
real    0m49.806s
user    0m20.450s
sys     0m6.350s

Great! Full speed dumping with incorrect command lines ;) The note
mplayer itself prints about 'fastest dumping is achieved with...'
should probably be changed (just kidding - this is clearly a bug and
not intended behaviour, but I don't have the time or the knowledge to
dig that far into mplayer).

Thanks for sharing that knowledge :)
