The primary MPlayer config file (that I know of) is "~/.mplayer/config".
Certainly that seems to be the only one mentioned in the docs. If your
version of MPlayer uses "/etc/mplayer/mplayer.config" (which, by the
way, does not even exist on my system), then it has probably been
modified by whoever distributed it, and is almost certainly not
supported here.

What's more, looking back at your original post, you are apparently
using MPlayer 1.0pre6. 1.0pre7try2 (the most recent actual release) is
considered ancient enough that very little support is provided for it;
there have certainly been numerous changes since 1.0pre6, and it is very
possible that any problem you are having has been fixed in the process.
Please consider switching to a more recent version.
