I guess the next questions are:
1. What kind of soundcard do you have.
2. What kernel are you running.
3. Is there anything in the demsg?
4. Have you tried to truss(1) the process to see exactly where it fails?
(IE, is it able to open the device, but then fails on an IOCTL?)
5. I take it you've tried copiling the sound as a module and tried
unloading/reloading it when the sound broke?
6. You may want to try powering you system all the way off. It's
possible that mplayer is putting the card in some bizarre state
that a simple reboot won't fix.
