1) Never use the root account to root account to run mplayer (unless
you have a very good reason to do so)
2) Check if your ram is okay: http://www.memtest.org/
3) See if re-installing MPlayer, or using the CVS version doesn't do the trick
4) Check if you don't have dumb settings in your ~/.mplayer/ directory

Cheers,

Guillaume
