This isn't the list for problems with VNC or esound, but since it's
quick and dirty...  Use -beeps to make sure esd and your sound setup
is working, and the use of  -promiscuous is commonly required with
Windows.  If it doesn't work... it's certainly not MPlayer's fault... 
Make sure you can get other apps working with ESD.
