The developer of the shell-fm software just gave me a clue as to why it is so painful to
try to play anything through stdin with mplayer: apparently mplayer does aggressive
caching and won't start playing until it gets some large amount of input first.
shell-fm has an "extern" function that'll fork off a process to play through
an external player, but it won't work because mplayer is expecting to grab quite a bit
of the stream.

Hi;
mplayer has an option to turn off caching. (-nocache) Not sure
if that will help you. (sometimes it seems like mplayer has an option
for everything...)

I heard they had an option that tells you if they have an option for everything.

Sorry about that
