[MPlayer-users] high cpu load when trying to play mss stream

[Jos van den Oever]

Hello MPlayer developers,

When trying to play http://www.omroep.nl/radio3/live64.asx, mplayer uses 100% 
CPU and does not play anyting.

The same happens when I access mms://media2.omroep.nl:1755/radio3live-64 
directly.

My system:
SuSE 8.0 (gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE))
mplayer: v0.90rc3
compile options: --enable-gui

Here's the console output when running with valgrind:
