This helped. It seems that the critical trick was to use "dummy" instead
of "null" for the "-vc" option. The question is, why?
What was it about this stream that caused the "a52 : error at resampling"?
And why does '-vc dummy' work, but '-vc null' does not?

I found that it worked if I left in "-noframedrop" and
all the other options. I didn't need "-mc 0". I used this command:
mplayer LSE0NNW11-1.vob -vc dummy -vo null -aid 128 -ao pcm:fast -noframedrop
