Fred, it solves the immediate problem, yes. But such an approach IMO is "half-baked": 1. Yahoo logs will show less hits from linux machines - i.e. they will have no reason even to think to improve the situation. 2. It does not help mplayer to become better - no feedback to the developers, so they do not know that mplayer can not deal properly with some kind of content. Do not forget, that "free" in software is not price-free. The price can be even your involvement in expanding the use, and in providing a feedback, so the things get improved. So, as you have made the first step, make the rest - mail yahoo and complain that their streams are broker (or not working properly under linux), and file a bug report at mplayer-hq.hu, so the guys behind mplayer can investigate the problem.
