I can reproduce this error when I don't specify a file to write to. Are
you sure you have a file specified (and there isn't a space right after
the '=')?

This doesn't look right at all. Does mplayer's output really look like
this, or is it a copy-n-paste problem?

That's kind of old. You should consider upgrading, though, in this case,
I don't think the problem is actually mplayer's fault.

Try this command instead:
$ mplayer rtsp://lyssna.sr.se/p3/Soul/SoulB-060925.rm -dumpstream
-dumpfile SoulB-060925.rm -bandwidth 1000000
That will:
* download faster
* save disk space
