I get a similar problem when watching Tv and doing other memory intensive 
stuff. The sound and picture start to stutter. If I close some programs down 
it sorts itself out. This is on a 3 GHz AMD (32Bit) with 1Gb of Ram on a dual 
memory channel board. Basically I'm pushing the memory / processor to its 
limit. 256Mb of RAM is suggested MINIMUM required. If you can afford to 
invest in some more RAM you will find its more cost effective than up 
gradeing your CPU, and having more RAM will allow mplayer to buffer more of 
the sound file that its playing.
