Make sure you have write-combining enabled for the video memory. Matroxfb 
should do this automagically for you. You can check this from the 
output of 'fbset -i' and 'cat /proc/mtrr'.

Also you can try with 'mplayer -benchmark -nosound ...'. The video should 
be too fast now. You also add -frames N option. Replave N with some 
reasonable number of frames eg. 1000. When it has played the N frames you 
will get the benchmark results.

It's trying to use the software ac3 decoding so I think it should work. I 
use ALSA myself so I don't really know anything about the OSS audio 
driver.
