Ok, let's try it more detailed:
1) mplayer -vo xv -ao alsa some_viod.avi
2) Switch to konsole/xterm etc. (I'm on konsole), so mplayer window is completely hidden by konsole window. (I use Alt + Tab)
3) Ctrl + Z
4) bg
5) 2 x cursor up (so you get the command again.
6) Enter
7) Now make mplayer visible by a mouse click on task bar.

I'm sure I got it with simpler ways too, but I guess the problem is the xv window in the background while trying to open the second xv.
