[MPlayer-users] Problems with 1.0pre5 playing streaming mp3

[Jesse F. Hughes]

Hey ho.

I upgraded from 1.0pre3 to 1.0pre5 in order to get newer ALSA interface
(at least, I *think* I got newer interface: -ao alsa instead of 
-ao alsa9).  However, I have a problem now playing streaming mp3s.

I used to use 

mplayer -cache 512 http://encode3.wduq.org:8100/playlist.pls

to listen to my favorite radio station.  Now, when I do that, mplayer
gets to the following point and just stops:

Playing http://192.204.250.38:8100/.

With 1.0pre3, I would see instead:

I don't see any relevant differences in audio codecs available.  When
I use -ao help with each version, the codecs reported are the same.

What's changed?  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks much.
