You guys are right, -novideo does the trick!

I went through about a hundred of old e-mail tickets from users that 
tried to add RTMP url's of radio stations in the past and all the ones 
that are working in flash are now playing fine in yesterday's svn 
mplayer without librtmp, if i run it with '-novideo'.

This is great! :)
