[MPlayer-users] playing while dumping a mp3 stream

[Hugo Vanwoerkom]

Hi,


Some months ago this subject was posted here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.mplayer.user/38172/match=recording+and+playing

It offered 2 ways of doing this:

 > mkfifo stream.dump
 > mplayer -dumpstream <url>
 > cat stream.dump | tee SavedStream.wmv | mplayer -

and

mplayer -nortc -really-quiet -dumpstream <url>
tail -f stream.dump | mplayer -

However, either method does not play but produces:
Cannot seek backward in linear streams!
Seek failed

Has anybody actually dumped a mp3 stream and listened to it at the same 
time?

Thanks

Hugo
