Thank you for the quick reply. I downloaded the latest SVN version of 
mplayer and built it. I can see the newer SVN-r33098-4.5.1 header in the 
output. I also see it is using ffaac instead of faad.

Unfortunately it has the same "Too many audio packets error". It also 
seems to fail at 63 seconds into the video whereas the older version 
failed at 95 seconds. Here is the output:

Maybe you are playing a non-interleaved stream/file or the codec failed?
For AVI files, try to force non-interleaved mode with the -ni option.
