mplayer -playlist http://swr3.streamlocator.de/ works at least.

hmm, i dont remember an http redirect to mms
but i will look around for a sample.

mplayer gets stuck in a loop currently on some urls
with or without -playlist.
i havent tested this patch against this url.

not sure if the stream url is even valid, but this should show a bug
somewhere.
