It looks like you have some stale old files from previous versions of mplayer? Try renaming the directory and let mplayer create a new directory for itself with default contents. Then try playing the movie again. > Playing kinema/garfield-tsr_m320.mov. > Cache fill: 0.00% (0 bytes) > libavformat file format detected. > [mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x2f1be50]multiple edit list entries, a/v > desync might occur, patch welcome I am not sure if this is because some confused options in the old config files or the movie you're trying to play is badly encoded... Anyway it does warn you that audio and video might get out of sync. I'm not sure if that amounts to "flashing" you see or not. > AO: [alsa] 22050Hz 2ch s16le (2 bytes per sample) Don't you have pulseaudio on by default?

Ok, three recommendations: 1) Try to play some other file. If it is fine, than this particular movie might be broken somehow. 2) Rename ~/.mplayer/ directory to something else. If there are some old/wrong config files and settings in there, they can confuse mplayer. 3) Check your sound configuration. Make sure pulseaudio is running, system sounds and other music can be played without problems etc. Force mplayer to use pulseaudio with "-ao pulse" option, although it *should* do it by default anyway. Btw, I understood that you were previously trying mplayer outside the terminal, ie. using a GUI. What GUI were you using?
