-ao sdl works sometimes. If it works I can watch the video pretty fine.
Sometimes it won't work. This happens mostly if I switch to fullscreen. Then 
video and audio hangs up, until I press quit (q). While v/a is frozen, I can 
move backward and forward with <- and ->, and mplayer shows the new picture, 
where I jumped.(v/a is again frozen).

BTW, which soundcard driver do you use? Probably Arpi is right, and my driver 
doesn't work correctly.
