Unless you have a very specific setup, you should not need to touch the files under /etc/pulse. Also, are you trying to run the system-wide PulseAudio service? Because that's basically wrong: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Documentation/User/WhatIsWrongWithSystemWide > Anyway to fix this? If you are running PA as a normal user (as you should), then perhaps the per-application volume for MPlayer is muted. While playing something with MPlayer, go to Settings -> Sound, then select the Applications tab, and there should be a volume slider for all the applications using audio. Just adjust as necessary.
