MPlayer video playback does depend on audio timing information.  Have
you tried with different values for -mc (0/10) and -autosync (1/30)?  

You also haven't said what version of MPlayer you are using.  If it's
older, you should try with a recent SVN snapshot.

There's a very interesting response from Brad Midgley.  

MPlayer is indeed single threaded...  What's so screwed up about the
design of "bluez" to cause a problem with that?
