I rather like to read too much than trying to guess what system/error
a user has. Beside, if it's really not needed i can skipp it :)

ok, check your installation of vorbis (looks like something is missing)
man ldconfig
man ld.so.conf
tell ./configure where libvorbis and libogg is

You are using sdl with X11 drivers, that's afaik the slowest possible
driver you can use. Even -vo x11 is faster. Try to get Xvideo support
for your card (dunno whether it's possible) or get a better graphic
card. Beside you have a system that is really at the lower end (so you need
to have a good card)

Hmm.. should not...

Dunno what's wrong here... never used nas
(btw: it's not a good idea to put to much between mplayer
and the sound card as the delay get's unpredictable)
