Guess, in short term - use -demuxer mkv. To engage it automatically -
=== cut ~/.mplayer/config (at the end of file!) ===
[extension.mkv]
demuxer = mkv
[extension.mka]
profile = extension.mkv
=== cut ===

For me, both native mov demuxer and native mkv demuxer works better, than lavf.
They does not require -correct-pts (and -correct-pts have big problems with with
 framedrops), does not have to senselessy munge ssa/ass back and forth, less
seek-happy,...

In long term...

... guess it would be better if you'd follow this advice: recompile MPlayer with
debug info and send backtrace.
