No problems playing growing files beyond the transient end of the data
at the moment as MPlayer was launched till the real EOF with the new
patch, tested with a couple of mp4, flv (YouTube) and avi files while
downloading them from the web, with and without '-demuxer lavf'. Seeking
in the files I tested works fine too.

Thanks a lot,
