Not mplayer's fault, either :-) I disabled volnorm for a couple of weeks and everything played fine, but then I noticed Audacious was also clipping with the volume normalisation plugin, which I never remember it doing either. I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.28.3, and tried ALSA 1.0.19 (having previously had major issues with 1.0.18.) So far it seems fine, I re-enabled volnorm in mplayer and I haven't had any clicks or pops yet, and Audacious no longer clicks either in the places that it used to 100% of the time. So it looks like this is an ALSA issue, rather than an mplayer issue.
