-ss does not start at the exact time given by you. It starts at the
next keyframe after this time.

The problem is that the only way to do what you want is to seek to
PREVIOUS keyframe to the time you given, and decode the video
discarding the result until your -ss time is reached (this could be
slow) and mplayer does not do this.
