I've been playing the audio via a different device, so would not have 
noticed that bug. If there is a driver bug, you can probably use 
a .asound to fix it. Something like this:

pcm.zsound {
        type hw
	card 0
}

pcm.rs0 {
        type plug
        slave {
                pcm "zsound"
                rate 48000
                format S16_LE
                channels 2
        }
}

pcm.!default {
        type plug
        slave.pcm "rs0"
}

Then use -ao alsa on the mplayer command line. Or if that doesn't make 
any difference try -ao alsa:device=rs0

Cheers,
