I seem to have the same problem,I play .wmv files on KDE with sound but 
on Apple/trailers there's no sound.After leaving Apple I have no sound 
on my desk top and have to restart the sound-server with these errors:-

Sound server warning message:
tcp_connect: can't connect to server (tcp:reddwarf:35532)

Sound server warning message:
unix_connect: can't connect to server 
(unix:/tmp/mcop-david/reddwarf-7ddd-3fc597e5)

I would assume that mplayer is not releasing the sound device after 
stopping,so how do I check for this and do something about it.
