Use "-noframedrop".  That's also why it works with -nosound...  

There are a LOT of other ways to speed-up mplayer.  -nocache helps quite
a bit.  -nortc surprisingly gives a big speed-up on my system.  And if
you've got an NVidia videocard, I've found the fastest display
method to be "-vo gl:yuv=1 -dr -vf format=bgr24".  

And finally, look through the -lavdopts and basically disable
them until it's fast enough :-)

Even with all of this, my CPU (AMD XP) clocked at almost 2GHz, can still
just barely playback h.264 in 1080p @24fps.  I really hope ffh264 gets a
lot of optimization.
