Okay, I'm a little confused here :) I can see that in testing version 3.21 of
mplayerplug-in is packaged. Although I'm using 3.25 (from sources) I assume
they are working quite the same, and I really don't know what kind of light
show you are talking about. If no one else replies then I ask you to include
a small screenshot of that, or the link of the screenshot image. Neither the
mplayer nor the mplayerplug-in software contains such a feature, so I really
do not know what produces that. The stream plays fine for me too, and my
screen gets blanked with gray too (this is normal, this is mplayerplug-in).

Maybe you don't have alsa enabled in your kernel, and you are using OSS. If
you are using oss and you want to use that option, you must put oss after ao=

Okay, this seems normal to me, if you can actually hear the stream. None of
the above indicates that a light show is being displayed :)
