[MPlayer-users] raw WMA audio stream playing

[teknohog at removespam.iki.fi.invalid]

I wanted to save a radio show (in WMA format), and it seemed to work with
"mplayer -dumpaudio". The problem is now playing back the stream.dump,
which mplayer doesn't recognize.

Direct listening worked perfectly using
"mplayer http://www.yle.fi/radioaino/aino.asx", it uses the ffwmav2 codec.

The equivalent mencoder line doesn't work, which is why I chose "mplayer
-dumpaudio" for saving the stream. Now I can't play or encode the dumped
file, and for this I would appreciate any help. For the future, I would
also like to know a better way of saving the audio. I've included the
MPlayer/MEncoder outputs below.
