[MPlayer-dev-eng] using strace -p on running mplayer (streamdump) kills mplayer

[Oliver]

Hello,

when using mplayer to streamdump, then attaching
strace -p to it, the mplayer dies.

I found out, that this is coming from an interrupted system call
(recv()) in  stream/networking.c

I filed a bugreport and submitted a small patch, which
solved that problem.

In general it would be better to use sigaction()-semantics for signalling
instead of signal(), so that signalling will become reliable.

Maybe this could be something worth working on later.
At the moment I just wanted to fix this issue.

I hope that helps

Ciao,
