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

[Jim Cross]

I have just tried wget as follows. The output shows a moving '<=>' but I
get no sound (even using '-volume 70'). - As Erik's works, maybe a version
discrepancy as mine looks to be quite old?

Maybe it is a codec issue as looking at previous posts the messages "Ogg
stream 0 is of an unknown type" and my "[ogg @ 0xb646f990]Codec not found"
make me suspicious this could be the case?:
