The issue in the log is due to the file being so short (0.5 seconds).
This is the same as
http://devel.mplayer2.org/ticket/166

The total amount of audio is not enough to trigger automatic start of
playback. However, for some weird reason setting that amount lower
triggered yet another Pulseaudio bug (it has a LOT of bugs), so mplayer2
doesn't currently do that.

Unfortunately Pulseaudio 2.0 seems to be yet buggier again than previous
versions - now seeking is _always_ buggy regardless of whatever else you
do on my machine at least (after calling pa_stream_flush() it takes a
long time before audio playback from the new position starts working
right, leading to stopped audio and frozen video until then). So perhaps
this issue could be fixed; OTOH that'd mean seeking would be broken with
all Pulseaudio versions, even the older ones where it worked before.
