It seems very likely to be a simple case of a damaged stream, and not a
bug a mplayer so much as it is not very good at error recovery.

At this point, it looks like your getting a crash because libmpeg2 isn't
handling the errors well (the ac3 errors seem unrelated).

"-vfm ffmpeg" should stop it crashing, and probably show less visual
glitches as well.

I believe the lavf ts demuxer is a bit better than the default, so
"-demuxer 35" (or "-demuxer lavf" for CVS) should also improve the
situation a bit more.

Hopefully, that will solve your problem.
