Well, found time to test and... LOCKUPS ARE GONE!!!

They happen in oss-emulation layer. Now I installed 0.9.0rc6, using oss
emu for xmms & others, but "-ao alsa9" in mplayer and it all works
flawlessy !

So, if anyone else is using an ali5451-based sound card (many notebooks,
at least from Acer) I strongly suggest it :-)

PS: mplayer now rocks even more !
