it's not a configuration error, it's a GUI bug, i'm sorry,
i know many of you like to use the GUI, but there's nothing
to do until the MPlayer developers decide to fix the sourcecode
for their skin system. that problem is very widely known 
( BTW, is that mpg in a FAT32 partition? if so, try
opening from a different filesystem tipe ) and it's supposed
to be fixed in a soon-coming new version.

as of now, the GUI is only usable if you opened the file from 
a command, which means you have to configure a file association
between movie files and Mplayer in your favourite file browser,
and then navigate up to the file and click on it. 
opening gmplayer and going to file -> open doesn't work.


about the sound, try a different sound driver. which parameters
are you using to call mplayer? or do you use none?
if you know what driver your soundcard is using ( OSS or ALSA )
try passing them as parameters for audio-output:

gmplayer -ao oss file.mpg

or

gmplayer -ao alsa file.mpg


if you are not sure, your best bet ( and this is what i use )
is SDL layer.

gmplayer -ao sdl file.mpg

this one will probably fix a lot of problems for you. 
( i even use SDL for video output) . 

my tipical mplayer command is like this:

mplayer -vo sdl -ao sdl file.mpg

of couse i don't type that every time, i made an alias
for it ;oP
