If that happens, you will get unbearably choppy playback anyway, unless you
wait the whole file is (almost) fully downloaded, whatever the method used.

You can emulate the "download | mplayer" behaviour using this:

tail -f -c +0 yo36OOYf9cU.mp4.part | mplayer -

But it will be choppy every time mplayer catches up with the download, that
is unavoidable.
