it never drops unless you use -framedrop

no, -fps works. it prints fps from header but uses -fps for timer
(printing what you give it has no sense)

if it plays too fast, it happens due to dropped frame before the mplayer
(buffer underruns in card?) or your audio card plays too fast (mplayer sync
video to audio, using the audio card's timer as reference).
it's known to happen with some ESS Maestro cards, maybe with others too
