[MPlayer-users] Cannot play mkv file, error "MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: decode video"

[OK OK]

Adding option -demuxer lavf does help to enable the video playback.
However, I just find another issue while playing that mkv file. For
some reason, the audio timeline is wrong, it's about 5 seconds ahead
of the video. If I play the file with other non-mplayer based player,
the timeline seems correct. In the mplayer log, I found following
message:
Opening audio decoder: [faad] AAC (MPEG2/4 Advanced Audio Coding)
FAAD: compressed input bitrate missing, assuming 128kbit/s!
AUDIO: 48000 Hz, 2 ch, s16le, 128.0 kbit/8.33% (ratio: 16000->192000)
Selected audio codec: [faad] afm: faad (FAAD AAC (MPEG-2/MPEG-4 Audio) decoder)

Could that cause the out-of-sync issue? Thanks a lot for your help!
The mkv file is available at: http://okeoke.net/downloads/beta/mkv.zip

Thanks!
Dan
