This is normal and is an audio VU meter through the drive slot light. It's 
forced
right now but I am assuming once the major change in mplayer-ce where the new 
gui is
added amongst other functionality it will be made an option you can turn off/on.

you can disable the light totally, if you find it annoing:

How to enable or disable the blue light around the slot of the Nintendo Wii.

1. Select the Wii icon on the bottom left of the Main Menu.

2. Select Wii Settings.

3. Flip to page 2 of the Wii Settings.

4. Select WiiConnect24.

5. Select Slot Illumiation.

6. Select one of the following:

    * Bright – To make the light blink bright.
    * Dim – To make the light blink dim.
    * Off – To disable the light.

Worked for me...

While it is cute... someone should have thought a little longer before making 
this
"feature" a default behavior. It gets pretty annoying in a dark room, even if 
the
drive light set to low.

Is there no way to turn it off by editing mplayer.conf?

I also really find this distracting and am using the r590 version.  Did anyone 
figure 
out if there was a way to turn this off by changing a setting?  Or is there an 
easy 
change to the source that I could make and compile myself a version without 
this 
feature?

See 'Slot Illumination' in WiiConnect24.

Issue 718 has been merged into this issue.

Went through the code during some free time, found out that the function to 
blink the
drive light with sound level was added in r564. The offending function seems to 
be
the "static float get_delay(void)" function found in 
"/trunk/mplayer/libao2/ao_gekko.c"

In light of adding a UI option to disable the feature, or setting the Wii Light 
to
off for the entire Wii, a quick fix can be to edit out the function and 
recompile...
