As I understand, audio/video drivers isn't important here since postprocessing
and rendering isn't involved at all if '-ao null -vo null' is specified.
I.e. CPU power isn't enough even to decode the picture (with real-time speed).

This file is ~90 secs - try to play it ~30-40 secs and you will see "your system
is too SLOW" message (if you're not using '-really-quiet' or similar shut-up option).
If not, it's a _real_ _miracle_.
