[MPlayer-users] BUG: Mplayer hangs when playing BBC Radio4 LW (RealAudio)

[Bryan Alton]

Trying to play the BBC Radio 4 LW - the latest CVS build
(dev-CVS-060512-15:58-3.3.5) of Mplayer, it fills the cache and then hangs
but it is still reading data from the network.  Other BBC stations work OK. 

The command tested was  
mplayer -cache 64
rtsp://rmlivev8.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio4/live/r4lw_dsat_g2_1.ra

I've isolated the problem to changes between 2006-12-09 16:00:00 and
17:30:00.  The relevant CVS log entries are below.   I reckon
the problem is with the changes made by Roberto as these were to correct
another bug and there were significant changes to demux for realAudio. 
Mplayer seems to spend its time looping in demux_real.c in the
demux_real_fill_buffer routine.

R4 LW is unusual compared to the other BBC stations in that it uses a
different RealAudio "flavour" and is in mono.
