To judge by the man mplayer, I suspect the line in the config file 
would be cache = enable

Although all the cache lines in /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf are 
commented out, simply replacing the line # cache = 8192 with the line 
cache = 16384 solved the buffer problem. Is cache thereby enabled?

You are correct. Solved the problem by changing play to Play.

Thank you.
