This is weird.

I tried that stream from the command line with no additional options and 
it indeed did work. Also I only, repeat 'only', added "-v" (verbose 
logging) to it and it didn't play at all and just gave an endless 
repeating of:

Cache empty, consider increasing -cache and/or -cache-min. [performance 
issue]

Through SMPlayer it didn't play at all either, but SMPlayer adds a whole 
host of extra options by default regardless of the media being played. 
Does what program you use simply use -slave or anything else? I tried 
just using '-slave' in the command line but it still played.

I use the following configuration and don't have nearly as many stuff 
disabled as you do: --enable-static --enable-runtime-cpudetection 
--disable-libmpeg2-internal --disable-tv --disable-vidix --disable-faac-lavc
