bug report was already sent. See "possible bug: ALSA 1.0.1 + 
mplayer-20040126-cvs = choppy dvd playback and error messages" 
message/thread. Nothing change between last CVS snapshots ...

I found out  yesterday what is the reason of xrun message - it is problem of 
mga_vid, exactly -vo xmga does it. If I use -vo xv, it is ok. BUT of course, 
there are still two alsa related bugs.
