Comment:

 I am experiencing nearly identical symptoms using MPlayer SVN-r30325-4.4.2
 and pulseaudio 0.9.21 on arch linux. However, in my case it seems to be
 limited to sticking/freezing after unpause (the audio doesn't go out
 before the video etc).

 Additionally, I get skipping audio in vlc media player (somewhat like OP
 says he has in mplayer). VLC never freezes on unpause, but the audio will
 periodically stop, then resume fast to catch up, then play at normal
 speed, then stop again in a cycle.  If I watch pulseaudio's Volume
 Control's Playback tab, I can see the VLC alsa plugin disappear coinciding
 with the lapses in audio, and reappearing when the audio returns. VLC
 version is 1.0.4.

 Both of these apps are using alsa (which in turn is using pulseaudio's
 alsa plugin). Alsa version is 1.0.22.
