Hi,

I can confirm the behaviour (using the command line you used) but it plays 
fine if I specify the cache option.  Try using:

mplayer -cache 4096 ....

Why dows Windows Media Player plays it fine? Threre are 2 reasons I think:

1- Apparently the bandwidth for the site is not good
2- Windows Media Player caches more data than the default caching in mplayer 
whe "cache" is not specified.

HTH,
Jorge
