This behaviour doesn't work when Mplayer output is piped to another process
or outputs to a file. In these circumstances cache goes to 0% and more or
less stays at zero since the output device can accept data faster than the
real stream supplies it.  

Therefore I am removing this piece of code.  The attached patch has the
offending code removed.
