Two or more ways
1)
$ pulseaudio -k
from man
-k --kill Kill a running daemon
2) in ~/.mplayer/config
add a line
ao = alsa
3) or from command line switch
$ mplayer options -ao alsa
directly use alsa instead of ao=pulse
I have noticed that if I install mplayer via rpmfusion or other repo, it(mplayer) uses pulse by default, but if I compile from source it uses the
best -ao option available. Just an observation.
Hope this helps in some way.

Antonio
