come on, now you really assume that with this info 'it failed' we will
be able to tell you how to solve it?

what about a proper bugreport? DOCS/bugreports.html

or at least tell us:
what soundcard, what driver ( oss/alsa )?
failed/... how did it fail? ( the output of mplayer -v -ao
oss:/deve/sound/dsp your.avi)
