[MPlayer-users] mplayer vs. xine: mplayer not able to play ASF stream but Xine can -- why?

I am having trouble playing some (but not all) pre-recorded ASF stream
on mplayer 0.90. The situation is not consistent because even on a
single given site, some files play and others don't.

Note that all these files play both under Xine and under Windoze Media
Player. I know that mplayer has troubles with some ASF streams, but if
the problem is some type of proprietary or encrypted M$ format, how
come Xine is able to play them OK?

Note I have all the latest win32codecs installed.

Specifically, I get the following outpt from running:
			  mplayer -v switch
