It appears to play perfectly for me with no special options, using
MPlayer dev-CVS-051211-22:44-4.0.3 and ALSA audio output by default.
What version are you using?

If you still have problems with the latest CVS version, then you will
need to post the entire output of MPlayer when playing that file -
probably, both with and without the -nosound option.
