Yes, audio is (usually) fine (when using -ao alsa). The picture lags 
behind though.

I have the dump. How do I get it to incoming? ftp://ftp2.mplayerhq.hu 
wants a username/passord (other than anonymous).
I have the dump at http://alstadheim.priv.no/tmp/stream.dump. (remove 
the extra dot at the end. I'm on a puny ADSL-line, be gentle). Playing 
the dump gets me the grown-ups voice several seconds before he enters 
the room.
