I use mplayer over NFS all the time, and have never had a single
problem, except for NFS v2 not supporting files >2GB. NFS v3 works fine.

You really ought to compile mplayer 0.90 (rc4 is old), and with a
supported version of gcc (2.95 or 3.2). Otherwise, I don't think anybody
will help you. Whether or not your compiler is the problem 2.96 is not
supported at all.
