Forgot to write I am using ncmpcpp as backend, not mplayer.

BTW I've noticed that running ncmpc works, so I stopped ncmpc and started ncmpcpp... audio is back.
Stopped again briefly (10/15 minutes) audio was gone again... really can't realize what's
going on and can't see anything useful from mpd log nor from qjactcl messages.
