cache is not supposed to work with too low values.
in theory it should work with 4*sectorsize (sectorsize is 2048 or 2324
depending on media) bytes or above, but it seems it still has problems
with too low limits. btw let me note, that few KB cache is very nonsense,
you should set it n*100kB or n MB to get it effective.

also note, that -cache sometimes conflicts with multifile (playlist or
multiple filenames in commandline) and/or some vo drivers.
