Hmm, doesn't work for me; if I start mplayer with -dumpstream on an asf 
stream and dump to a file, and then a few(enough) seconds later start 
mplayer from that file it stops at eof quickly, I restart (from start) 
and it goes longer and then stops, etc.

I guess it is stopping at the size of file when it started.
