Sounds plausible. It's a webcam that's audio-enabled, but I think our
customer unplugged the microphone. To save bandwidth it probably doesn't
send silent audio packets.

When I downloaded a sample of the stream with wget it played fine
(silently of course), but that's probably because mplayer could seek to
the end.

No luck. It uses the ffmpeg codecs, which don't work with this stream.

The camera manufacturer is Linksys/Cisco. I don't think they'll fix it
by Monday!
