    Hi, Svante Signell!

I'm sorry but I agree, it's only MPlayer bug. Any of Window$ players
plays these files ok (from very slow CD-ROMs such as old Mitsumi 4x
also). Bad thing is that some of such files are coming with CD-ROM disks
already. Well, I know, these days CD-R disks are cheap and I can reencode
these files and throw out CD-ROM disk with original ones. But anyway to
throw out disk with reason MPlayer cannot play it properly isn't good,
isn't it? It's only software problem, unfortunately...

    With best wishes.
    Andriy.
