What are you talking about? Video timing certainly does not rely on
audio writes blocking. MPlayer only tries to write the amount of audio
data the ao earlier indicated having space for so blocking behaviour is
irrelevant normally; if the space estimate was inaccurate then blocking
can break video timing if it lasts too long. Your "this is how it works"
sounds like you don't understand how it works at all.
