I have installed CentOS 5 with mplayer -1.0-0.34. from de dag's repos,everythings going well while I'm just listening music ando doing any easy job, but when I run yum the mplayer stops for a while and start again, the sames happens with xmms. I have a celeron 2.9ghz and 256mb ram I want to know why is this happening ?
hurry up and grab a chair...
try launching xmms/mplayer (as user) from command line instead of clicking because starting from a command line might give some useful information in error out.
I find that if I am watching video or listening to audio via the Internet, a stoppage generally means that it lost contact with the streaming server
yum update is not an easy job...it takes a lot of processing power and memory. You don't have that much memory and the Celeron is only OK as a processor
256 MB RAM is suggested minimum and likely to cause your machine to use swap more and interruptions in streaming process is likely while system is swapping memory to/from hard disk

I get a similar problem when watching Tv and doing other memory intensive stuff. The sound and picture start to stutter. If I close some programs down it sorts itself out. This is on a 3 GHz AMD (32Bit) with 1Gb of Ram on a dual memory channel board. Basically I'm pushing the memory / processor to its limit. 256Mb of RAM is suggested MINIMUM required. If you can afford to invest in some more RAM you will find its more cost effective than up gradeing your CPU, and having more RAM will allow mplayer to buffer more of the sound file that its playing.
