In experimentation (and I have reported this before) I think that for
mplayer we should stick with alsa until the patch is made better. To
test (and freeze)
 mplayer -ao pulse <some music or movie>

Then use the 9 and 0 keys to adjust the volume. At some point mplayer
with freeze. With alsa, this doesn't happen.

Another slightly annoying issue is amarok pausing. It seems to freeze
for a few seconds before the pause OSD pops up and input control returns
to amarok. Again I blame the plugin for xine... I'll try the alsa output
and see if that helps.
