I think that adding this line to mplayerplug-in.conf will do what you want

ao=oss:/dev/dsp1:/dev/mixer1

You can test it first with mplayer using this
mplayer -ao oss:/dev/dsp1:/dev/mixer1 {some audio file}

You may also want to try the alsa driver

ao=alsa:device=hw=1.0

Which tells it to use the second card,first device. You might need to
play around with the numbers...  The file /proc/asound/cards should list
your cards and then the file /proc/asounc/devices will list devices.
You'll want to look for the 'digital audio playback' listings and then
look for [ #- %] where # is the card # and % is the device and that will
tell you which ones to try.

mplayer -ao alsa:device=hw=1.0 {some audio file}

Will allow you to test this out and get it working. I would recommend
ALSA over OSS.
