Sorry, folks!
My bust here, but it turned out to be the simple lack
of my using the "-cache 8192" flag with mplayer to
make the audio/video burps stop completely.
With that flag, I now get perfectly smooth playback.
That little command line flag might come in handy for
the novices out there, much as I hate to admit that I
confounded myself with such a rookie mistake.
