Unfortunately this did not fix the problem. Grabbed a file that was about 3MB 
and so the plugin cached 1MB of it and then started mplayer with the -nocache 
option and it played about 1 min into the song and stopped (still downloading 
in the background). I hit play again and it played the entire song. Also 
while it was playing I was asking for percent complete and it seemed to think 
that the file size was only 1MB because it it was telling me it was at 85%, 
45 seconds into the song. Again this only happens with mpeg files. QT and 
others do not exhibit this same behavior. 

Here is my command line

mplayer -wid 0x2a0d685 -rtsp-stream-over-tcp -vo x11 -zoom -ao arts,esd 
-user-agent NSPlayer -osdlevel 0 -nojoystick -noconsolecontrols -cookies 
-slave -nomouseinput -nocache /tmp/mplayRMN8tM
