[MPlayer-users] .ram files don't play and a possible patch

[Raphael Clifford]

If you try to play a .ram file over the net it will fail in mplayer (0.9 
up to CVS 31/07/03 tested). This is simply because a .ram file is in 
fact a text file with the URL of the real stream in it.  If you are 
trying to play an embedded stream with mplayerplugin this is can be 
pretty fatal.

Here is a possible diff file (reproduced with permission of the author
