I have the same problem with MPlayer dev-CVS-040527-18:58. It depends on the 
quality of the the audio stream, for instance

AO: [alsa] 44100Hz 2ch Signed 16-bit (Little-Endian) (2 bps)

causes a stuttering sound with a lot of "alsa-space: xrun" messages. The msec 
values are different when I zoom the video (-vo x11 -zoom -xy 640 -fs).

Lower quality audio like

AO: [alsa] 11025Hz 2ch Signed 16-bit (Little-Endian) (2 bps)

causes no messages as long I do not minimize or maximize any window under KDE, 
everytime I do so I get one "alsa-space: xrun" message.
