Arrggh!
There was obviously a heinous nasty in the latest stable release that 
made streaming media choke in a few different ways. The cvs fixed it, or 
did until I uninstalled it, installed the stable (to make sure that it 
wasn't a gentoo build error as opposed to an mplayer error), and then 
reinstalled the cvs - first the same cvs, then the absolute latest (30 
mins ago). F^\{!!!

can't be played now, not from a browser, not from the command line. I 
get a message about wrong chunk sizes but it was working THIS morning, 
ostensibly with the same version!
