I sometimes have this problem when using a DXR3 as well (a hardware MPEG
decoder.)

It seems to be caused when the sound goes out of sync with the video -
mplayer drops a few frames of video to bring everything back in sync.
If you're using a cheap sound card, apparently this can be why the
timing is out as they're not terribly accurate. Try playing the video
with -nosound and see if it makes a difference. You won't want to
forcefully stop this from happening (e.g. with -noframedrop) because
then you'll lose A/V sync after a while.
Cheers,
Adam.
