If I recall correctly, there has been several bug reports about this.
I don't remember if any fix has been committed to address this
problem. Helmut, what version of MPlayer are you using? Are you using
CVS or a release? Try with latest CVS if you did not try already.

The instructions to try the CVS version are at the bottom of this

I will do it when I have some time, and once I can be certain that
there is no other way to go but to do as you suggested.
