Stupid me, I should have done the output logging in the first place

   $ cat /tmp/mplayer.log 
   ~/record_radio: line 5: mplayer: command not found

I've got SVN mplayer in /usr/local/bin; supplying full path when calling
mplayer binary solves the problem.

Thank you very much for a brief moment of enlightement :-)
