I tried "mplayer -ao oss" and as you said, I got no sound, so is this artsd 
the problem then? If so can I "kill" it?

One other quick note, if I play a file with mplayer and close it I can no 
longer see what I type in the terminal window which I used to open mplayer. 
Another issue is that when i minimise mplayer the last frame of the video 
stays on top of everything else and until it is closed I cant see anything 
behind it (i.e. I have a big square on top of my desktop).
