[MPlayer-users] Mplayer restart when stream stops working

Hi Guys,
For my client I had to build a streaming-relay system to relay any kind
of data into mp3. The system is kinda dirty
but it works (80%) fine. The problem is that it's unstable.
I use Mplayer to play a stream and output is as PCM into an fifo. That
works fine. Then I read the fifo in darkice and
I re-encode and stream it to an icecast server.
When a stream goes down, one of my cronjobs checks if darkice *or*
mplayer is down, and it restarts the process.
My Question: Mplayer has to STOP when a stream stops working. Sometimes
it does, sometimes not. Sometimes it's just
'sleeping'. Not buffering, nor playing. I cannot see this 'downtime' in
my scripts, because nothing is down.. but the stream is
not working anymore.
Is it possible to stop mplayer when an audio-stream stopped working? Or,
does anybody have a clue why it doesn't stop?
I use this mplayer command:
mplayer -v -ao pcm http://www.streaming.com/stream.asf -aofile
/fifo/stream1 -nowaveheader -srate 22050 -cache 32 -channels 1
Thanks a lot guys!
