Sometimes even mplayer cannot play dumped stream without specifying the
substream with -vid. It does work for http://vipmms.itele.fr/cpi_itele,
but doesn't work for http://video.corbina.tv/tv2 and couple others.
Unfortunately, corbina.tv filters out some traffic, so most will not be
able to connect to the server, so I will try to find more accessible
stream that confuse mplayer.

Anyhow, using -dumpvideo -dumpaudio instead of -dumpstream didn't work
at all. When mplayer attempts to play dumped stream ASF check fails with

ASF_check: not ASF guid

And then mplayer start guessing, wrongly detects TiVo file format and
exits.
