[MPlayer-users] How to force a bandwidth limit to MMS streams?

Hello,
I'm happy that I can watch some TV MMS/WMV streams with mplayer
and my ISP. However they stream with diffrent stream bandwidths which
are embeded in the same stream and mplayer always chooses the stream
which is the fastest 250 K (my bandwidth is only 130K max). The -bandwith
switch doesn't work. Putting a large "-cache" just takes too much time and
easily looses sync after a short time.
When I connect to the stream its announcing the diffrent streams.
How can I pick one? -sid/-vid/-aid doesn't seem to work. Of course
I know they are only for subtitle etc but I tried them all :)
Is there anything else I missed?
Little output of a connect to the stream:
mplayer -v "mms://pluton.club-internet.fr/cnn?transactionID=1115394917&login=tkuiper&produitID=5"

... Then it plays but stucks. I can register it without trouble using
"mmsclient".
How can I pick one of those "ASF Stream group"? I suppose its the thing
I'm looking for...
