Microsoft Media Server protocol:
"A protocol used to reference and stream .asf files from
a Windows Media server". (from mms doc)

For now I don't have much time to focus on it, but I will try
at least to fix the bug I have with asf streaming as soon as
I change the crappy gcc 2.96 :(
But sure the buffering/cache layer will help to improve
the streaming.

I like the last one ;)


BTW, Arpi what's about stream that only have sound in it?
You told me that will be a little bit complicated to support this
kind of stream. But I don't see it in your TODO list.
Will mplayer support sound only file before the next release (0.19)?
It will be cool to listen to those radio streaming with mplayer.
