okay but other patch was seperate issue and doesnt use -playlist option.
ie command used instead was mplayer http//host/file.asf

> Can you please have a look at this?

OKay I did this as soon as possible.

made 2 mplayer builds CVS, and CVS + 2 patches
(tools used: ethereal)

test 1: (use no -playlist option) mplayer http://host/file.asf

unpatched: Stream failed (automatic refetch using right user agent - wrong
stream switch pragma entry)

patched: Stream played (automatic refetch using right user agent -right
stream switch pragma entry )

test2: (use -playlist option) maplyer -playlist http://host/file.asf

unpatched: Stream failed (automatic refetch using right user agent - wrong stream
swith entry) NOTE: does not process -playlist option (ignored)
treats same as in test 1 above. stream fails.

patched: attempts to use playlist which is returned by server,
         correctly attempts fetching from 192.168.xxx.xxx
         due to invalid playlist entry. 
         of course stream fails.

my analysis was that
status quo (no patches)
 means this stream fails to play and -playlist option is ignored.

patching allows -playlist option to be used and stream does play 
if you dont use -playlist (because playlist returned by server is incorrect
and is using a local address - not case with most such playlists)
this is as expected when submitting this patch.

Please let me know if I need to do any more tests.

Thanks
