mplayer doesn't use rtc timing by default anymore. If yours is, you 
should update.

I don't know about yours, but my timeout has different syntax.

$ timeout
usage: timeout [-signal] time command...

Either way, you can also use -endpos like the example I just sent in 
another message.

It shouldn't matter, but you specify -ao pcm twice.

Try adding -bandwidth 9999999 or something for a faster cache fill.
