One pipe should only be read by one task. So you need three pipes:

mkfifo input
mkfifo output1
mkfifo output2

Then start the copy process:

cat input | tee output1 >output2 &

then start the dump:

mplayer [URL] --dumpstream --dumpfile input

When mplayer stops and closes the pipe, the copy task should die by itself.
