One thing to add to the below, several different dumped files from the
same source all have a similar size (each dying about 82 seconds in):
3614596 Oct 17 21:44 1.1.rm
3614701 Oct 17 22:20 1.2.rm
3659010 Oct 17 22:51 5.4.rm
3615970 Oct 17 21:40 9.rm
Seems like this is a glytch in the stream that Helix can handle but
mplayer cannot.
