It uses -vo xv by default - it assumes you have XF86 set up properly to use the acceleration (like the mplayer-xfree86 extension).
Since you have a nvidia 32mb card, that shouldn't be a problem. You could also just change the video driver in the options.

I don't want to install xfree86.
The streams go out of sync.

heh, that's interesting.

With video acceleration you usually get much more performance and quality - perhaps something else gets throttled.
Doesn't matter I guess if you have things the way you want.

mplayer-1.0pre8cvs.uci does not set a config file when you load it - if it did it would clobber whatever settings lay in an existing config file, and in any case different users may need different settings so I didn't want to set one at all. So with nothing set, I guess it looks for the xv driver.

My examples in the info file for cli and for the config file both set vo=x11

Perhaps the info file should make it clearer that you need to make a config file for use with the gui? All required docs are included in the extension.

BTW mplayer is really designed as a cli program and it's worth getting friendly with the cli options - the gui seems a bit tacked on and has less switches than are available as a cli.
