I looked at the mplayer console, and it shows this message: "Can't open audio device /dev/dsp: Device or resource busy..."
I did more google, and someone suggest to look into /var/log/message and I did and found message about pulseaudio, and I removed it from the processes and the problem is solved. I consulted this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=313755 anyone here can elaborate on this a little more?
