I've never seen this before. My gut response is that it might have 
something to do with your audio driver. Does it happen when you add '-ao 
null'?

If the problem doesn't manifest with '-ao null, then try other audio 
outputs your machine might support. You didn't say what operating system 
you're using, but ones that might work under Linux are:
-ao alsa
-ao oss
-ao sdl
-ao esd
-ao arts

If you don't have any luck there, then you'd better read the bug 
reporting guidelines in the MPlayer documentation and submit a full bug 
report.
