Just fro completeness, this is still valid with latest pulse+mplayer combo.

Here is a comment+bt from a Mandriva dev:

mplayer often freeze when adjusting sound when using pulse. It may be a
deadlock (using a trylock and aborting the try may be worth in an app that want
streaming):

This seems to be fixed in the latest mplayer svn. Please reopen if you get different results to me (verified with Mandriva cooker mplayer package which has backport of the pulse ao layer)
