I occasionally use mplayer to listen to this stream:

mplayer -playlist http://audio.vivalavoce.com/stream/real/voce_hi.smil

I have been doing this for months .. just retrieving the command from my
bash history without any problem, but last night this caused mplayer to
crash with the following messages:

MPlayer interrupted by signal 11 in module: av_sync
- MPlayer crashed by bad usage of CPU/FPU/RAM.
  Recompile MPlayer with --enable-debug and make a 'gdb' backtrace and
  disassembly. Details in DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports_what.html#bugreports_crash.
- MPlayer crashed. This shouldn't happen.
  It can be a bug in the MPlayer code _or_ in your drivers _or_ in your
  gcc version. If you think it's MPlayer's fault, please read
  DOCS/HTML/en/bugreports.html and follow the instructions there. We can't and
  won't help unless you provide this information when reporting a possible bug.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

After this, mplayer just hangs and it takes a 'kill -9 pid' to cause it
to terminate.

I have a feeling vivalavoce.com have changed something in their setup
but I am unsure how I can fix this. Recompiling and running a backtrace
as recommended above is rather impractical since I am on a debian system
and not very familiar with the procedures that let you build your
packages from source in this particular context.

I am able to access this stream in realplay but I would much rather use
mplayer (console mode).

Maybe somebody more familiar with audio streaming could guess at what
might be happening and suggest a workaround? 

Thanks,
