[MPlayer-users] "-frames" option for streamed audio stopped "counting"

[Woody Suwalski]

I used to be able to record streamed audio clips, specifying number of 
frames to record, then quit...

With current mplayer (1.0-pre8-0.1sarge2 from 
http://www.debian-multimedia.org) the "-frames nn" option stopped 
quiting - keeps playing (i.e. recording) for ever....

Is it the updated codec issue? The source build issue? A genuine bug?

e.g.
mplayer -frames 99 -novideo -srate 11025 -channels 1 -quiet -vc dummy 
-vo null -ao pcm:file=/tmp/cfra.wav mms://tc1.canadacast.ca/chum/cfra.wmv
 used to record ~ 5 minutes of WAV file...


Thanks, Woody
