I've noticed a A/V-sync problem when I play mpeg files from stdin. "cat x.mpg | mplayer -" plays the sound about 0.5 sec too late. When I play the same file with "mplayer x.mpg" or "mplayer - <x.mpg" it is syncronized properly.
Is this a known problem?
I forgot to mention the version: 0.90-rc4

Since I have no simple way to upload a file, I tried to find a file with this effect on your server. And I found that they _all_ fail _completely_ to play the video when they are played like "cat foo.mpg|mplayer -". However, they play fine with "mplayer - <foo.mpg". Check Alien.mpg just as an example. I think the problem is that pipes are not seekable.
Hmm, good point. Then use "cat foo.mpg | mplayer -cache 4096 -". Rich
