No. This is only a hack to disable probing, because probing currently causes seeks
which are handled very badly.
The real issue is that MPlayer has quite a few checks for STREAMTYPE_STREAM and no
fd, and then disables a lot of things like cache.
I have no idea why, it only seems to break things for no reason at all.
