Sorry for the delay, I'm rather busy at the moment.

I've tracked it down to the following change:

diff -urN --exclude CVS mplayer-20031101/libmpdemux/asf_streaming.c mplayer-20031102/libmpdemux/asf_streaming.c
--- mplayer-20031101/libmpdemux/asf_streaming.c	2003-09-25 02:36:04.000000000 +0200

 		if( strstr(features, "broadcast") ) {
 			mp_msg(MSGT_NETWORK,MSGL_V,"=====> ASF Live stream\n");

Applying the reversion of this to current CVS fixes the problem (for the 
sample URL mentioned above and at least 8 others I've tried).

All those sites do transmit video/x-ms-asf MIME types even for ASF 
redirections.

Fix for current CVS (reverting the problematic change -- there's probably 
a more intelligent way to fix it though, like checking for a redirector 
if one of the mime types matches) attached.
