[MPlayer-users] Live radio stream dies immediately

I'm trying to play radio streams from 
http://antfarm.co.za/anthelp/radioAnts.jsp

The mono streams ( http://www.antfarm.co.za/clients/702/702_16.asx and 
http://www.antfarm.co.za/clients/yfm/yfm_16.asx ) work fine, but the stereo 
streams (e.g. http://www.antfarm.co.za/clients/5fm/5fm_22.asx ) give a short 
initial burst of sound and then the sound disappears. I use MPlayer 
1.0pre5.tar.bz downloaded and compiled by myself about a week ago on Linux.

I have included the outputs of a stereo and a mono radio stream below.

If anyone can help I will appreciate it.

Morten
