I get this with a number of video files that I have here locally, but it
doesn't prevent mplayer from actually playing the video correctly.  I
doubt that this is the issue.

I tested mplayer against the same video that was initially referenced in
your original post and the output from mplayer was virtually identical to
what you had posted here, but the video did indeed play without issue.

Okay, this seems a little strange.  The only time I've really seen a
message such as this is when I quit whatever window manager I'm currently
running with other applications still open.

I wish I were able to offer some sort of assistance in trying to get
this resolved on your end, but I am not really sure what to suggest.
