Sorry, don't understand?  Is "MPlayer SVN-r31206-snapshot-4.4.4" broken and 
I should use a newer one?

I have noticed "MPlayer SVN-r31206-snapshot-4.4.4" works a bit better if I 
cache the whole stream with:
mplayer -v -ao null -vo null -vc null -cache 262144 
mms://wm.bbc.co.uk/wms/bbc7coyopa/bbc7_-_friday_0430.wma

But as soon as the cache is full, the stream stops again with the 
"ds_fill_buffer: EOF reached (stream: audio)" message.
