I'll settle for the following then:

  MPlayer used to be a Movie and not a Media player. This is slowly
  changing and MP3, OGG VORBIS, ASF, MP4 and WAV are currently
  supported. Nevertheless the main focus is still video, so you may
  prefer to use alternatives like xmms or mpg123 instead. 
  You may have problems playing certain MP3 files that mplayer will
  misdetect as mpegs and play incorrectly or not at all.  This cannot
  be fixed without dropping support for certain broken mpeg files and
  thus will remain like this for the foreseeable future.  The -demuxer
  flag described in the manpage may help you in these cases.

Attached comes the updated patch.

Diego
