Well, you are telling MPlayer to play sound, what can it do?
-nosound would avoid all those issues (I think), and you should also
use -benchmark to make MPlayer not wait pointlessly.

What you get is (almost) exactly what e.g. -vo x11 would give you.
MPlayer can do quite different kinds of processing, but just like
for normal playback you will have to tell it to.
Read the documentation.
