Details

Mplayer has very distorted sound when using the default mp3 decoder (-ac mp3). Using -ac ffmp3 fixes the problem. Using -ao pcm:file=file.wav also seems to fix the problem. I have mplayer 33690 and this also affects SMplayer.

This is definitely the same bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mplayer/+bug/85751

This might be a duplicate, but I am not sure: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/23563
