Maybe dumb question but have you tried to add "-ao alsa" to see what happends? If it does not work try to list avaible drivers to use with -ao using command "mplayer -ao help" and look too see if alsa-support is built.
I'm not sure if this solves your problem but the name of the alsa driver changed. It is now alsa1x .... http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=166433&highlight=mplayer+alsa1x#1101314
Ok, it was my fault. I changed the config file to "ao=alsa1x:default" but didn't remember that I had set an alias "mplayer -ao alsa9:default"... Now I've deleted this alias and everything works fine. Thanks!
