well , if you really want to fix mms ... i have some suggestions.

stupid microsoft windows media server switched from mms to rtsp. but
they still use mms urls in playlists. which means a user or browser
plugin sends the mms url to mplayer and it fails sometimes.

what needs to be done is to fix the automatic and failure retries.

trying mmst or mms port 80 is sometimes faster than mms port 1755.
and if those fail it should failback to ffmpeg://rtsp://...

sample:
mms://wm.microsoft.com/ms/evnet/Vista_Diagnostics_s_ch9.wmv

mms fails , after taking a long time on port 1755 and port 80.
rtsp works somewhat with ffplay.
