There is no sound at all.

Please see if you can figure out what is causing this.

VESA was causing it. X11 did not slow it down at all, just shrank
the picture to 1/2 size.

Your CPU is fast. My PII needs -vo vesa to get a good display.

What are the symptoms of a bad display?
I am amazed that this board can handle a demanding task like this, considering that we got it dead and replaced 6 capacitors. The printer port is the only thing broken on it that I know of so far.

Add the -noaspect option to play at the "standard" resolution.
This also speeds things up a little. You can do all kinds of
goofy resizes to the video with MPlayer (the kitchen sink of
video players)

Would this squash it sideway to fit on the monitor?

No. It would play at the standard DVD aspect ratio.

Why does -noaspect give you a standard aspect (which I presume is the picture that is wider than would be usual on a monitor)? I will read the documentation some time soon.

Did I mention that the first mplayer played streaming audio? (I
need to put in a 56K modem).

The first MPlayer lacks good RTSP support.

I have not tried it on realaudio or ogg, just mp3. A 24K station did not sound good at a 31K connection, kept losing bits of sound and had a premature end of file in a little while. I will switch modems to see if 56K (42000-45000 connect speed) fixes that.
