If your using the stock SuSE mplayer and Kaffine installs they shouldn't be able to play normal DVDs at all, since it requires DMCA-infringing libraries.
Whats the output of "hdparm -d /dev/hd?" (w/o quotes)?
For instance, my output: /dev/hda: using_dma = 1 (on) /dev/hdb: using_dma = 1 (on) /dev/hdc: using_dma = 1 (on) /dev/hdd: using_dma = 1 (on)
This will output whether DMA is enabled for the drives. It seems to me that it shouldn't matter since DVDs don't need that fast of a DVD player, but it could be the problem.

Well, the distribution is SuSE 9.0 with KDE 3.2.1 I tried Kaffeine 0.4.2, it was running really good except the same problem. mplayer gave message for slow system:
************************************************ **** Your system is too SLOW to play this! **** ************************************************
Possible reasons, problems, workarounds: - Most common: broken/buggy _audio_ driver - Try -ao sdl or use ALSA 0.5 or the OSS emulation of ALSA 0.9. - Experiment with different values for -autosync, 30 is a good start. - Slow video output - Try a different -vo driver (-vo help for a list) or try -framedrop! - Slow CPU - Don't try to play a big DVD/DivX on a slow CPU! Try -hardframedrop. - Broken file - Try various combinations of -nobps -ni -forceidx -mc 0. - Slow media (NFS/SMB mounts, DVD, VCD etc) - Try -cache 8192. - Are you using -cache to play a non-interleaved AVI file? - Try -nocache. The system is Dell Latitude 1.8GHz Ati Radeon 32MB video, 256Ram.
