wow, with -nosound there are no errors anymore and video runs 
perferctly.
With -ao oss or sdl there are errors too (like alsa).

I cant understand why "error while decoding frame" can be have to do 
with audio-out? 
Looks like a problem with this:
****
Selected audio codec: [faad] afm: faad (FAAD AAC (MPEG-2/MPEG-4 Audio) 
decoder)
****

But mplayer -novideo and no errors were printed?!?

I'm really confused now.
