Did you look at the Mplayer Preferences to see what the output driver is? "Alsa" Channels by Default? Have you tried 'rpm -e nodepps mplayer'? Then 'rpm -Uvh mplayer'. If you 'yum remove mplayer' you will remove the whole lock stock and barrel. So get the mplayer rpm from the repo you use first then do it. > padsp mplayer my.mp3 works.
