There is no -fixed-ao feature in mplayer ATM ;) So no, there is no way.
Not even sure if mplayer can change output audio rate (i.e. between 44.1
and 48 khz mp3 files) on the fly without ao reinit.

One can say that mplayer doesn't need this because it's not an audio
player, but then again, show me another lightweight player with
mplayer's features like high-quality resampling or ability to play
almost any formats in any containers..
