I think the problem is that with the current design, cache can't
easily be disabled once the file is opened with cache enabled. So, by
the time mplayer switches to -ni mode, it's too late... From my
experience, cache is always bad. It makes for large startup delays and
very slow seeking and doesn't improve performance at all.
