This example you give above works fine for me with latest CVS from today.

and your problem seems simmilar to issue posted before about URL below.
mms://a1617.l784120262.c7841.e.lm.akamaistream.net/D/1617/7841/v0001/

I have a thought about this and maybe remote server drops connection on
you instead of sending the data packets for audio.
causing an EOF above.
is your internet connection slow / low bandwidth possibly?
