Forgot to mention that the streams hang after about 2 seconds as you described earlier and then start playing again. I bet it has something with the caching of streamed data to do. Altho after the first little break everything goes on playing just fine. mplayer never hangs for me, it continues to play.

I just didn't have the grades, or the physical endurance, plus I threw up a lot, and nobody liked spending a week with me." -Fry
