The answer is still the same as when you asked the last time:
if you do not want MPlayer to drop frames it should be quite obvious
you should not use -framedrop.
Even more so since -framedrop only skips displaying the frames,
which gives very little benefit.
If the machine is vastly too slow, for some videos something
like -lavdopts skip=nonref can help.
And audio decoding takes so vastly less CPU time that there is
no point in "accepting audio stutters" because that won't make
video play better in any perceivable way.
