It seems like the package "mplayer" is a virtual package in "testing", and the different instances of it were compiled differently. My first effort was with "mplayer-k6" which offered alsa9 and not plain alsa, but later I removed it and installed "mplayer-nogui" which looks like yours, except it is 1.0-pre6 and not pre7. I am too new to Debian to go with stable, or maybe I am just too chicken! <smile> so I'll be patient for a while.
