If it shows the message it means that you don't have any correct config file in the "mplayer" subfolder, and it tries to play using ao mpegpes.

WSS can't detect GUS except if you have ULTRASND environment variable set, as you can see looking at the source code.
For the present remove it before running mplayer (I will add later the option to specify soundcard and volume as ao wss parameters) and put a correct config file in the "mplayer" subfolder. Or if you don't know how/don't want to use a config file, run mplayer with:

mplayer -really-quiet -ao wss -vo vesa -double -zoom -fs -framedrop
