With those there's no problem, because that http server accepts
byte-ranges, which causes the STREAM_SEEK flag to be set. Then, when
mplayer wants to seek back to the beginning, it simply reconnects to the
server. I see mplayer connect three times when I play the files above.

This is an example of an http server without byte-ranges:

(btw, the fact that it sounds pretty crappy has nothing to do with mplayer)

thanks for looking into this!
