I've just a quick look and the code seems to ignore the username and
password in my code. . .  I guess you would need to change
libmpdemux/network.c quite a bit to get it all working.  The username
and password are retrieved from the url but them promptly discarded
(have a look at check4proxies() if you fancy a hack.

Sorry, but this is even less likely to work. . .

Yup, I do that all the time my self.
