You can try using hundredths of a second with seek to get closer to a 
particular frame.  Mplayer only reports position to a tenth of a second, 
but at least seems ( I could be imagining this though) to try to seek as 
close as possible to the time given.  For instance seeking to 1.067 
should get you the 32nd frame, assuming 30fps.  I haven't really tested 
this thoroughly, but it has seemed to work for me when I did it.
