    On my limited experience I'll ask this

    1/ What sound system do you use alsa/arts/oss/esd

    2/ What soundcard do you have

    3/ How do you start mplayer

        a/ On the desktop - gmplayer

        b/ In a terminal - mplayer -vo xv -ao *

    If you use b/ is there any messages regarding audio on the
    terminal/console when the video stops.
    Are there any error messages at all on the audio not playing
