No, I don't think I was ever seeing that type of message.  However,
now that I knew which column in the output corresponded to the cache
fill, I noticed that it was nearly always at 50%.  The other messages
that I was seeing only occurred when first starting mplayer (in the
initial output).  When I have some time, I'll try updating to the
latest subversion snapshot to see if the behavior is any different.
