I usually run mplayer from within lynx, but I should think the same technique should work on your system. While mplayer is running (buffer values being displayed, maybe some audio playing, etc), try pressing CTRL-C. On my system, pressing CTRL-C causes mplayer to produce a message about an interrupt taking place in some module or other, and then mplayer terminates. HTH, and have a _great_ day!
