Well, after several bits of good listening I ran into the problem again.
I tried closing some programs to get back to the situation that worked,
but it still weny badly.

I know about ps and top in general, but don't know the exact syntax.
What I would like - is it possible? - is a way of listing only the
mplayer processes and of listing the maximum CPU used rather than
having to watch the lines to see what is happening. Using the Mac's
Activity Monitor (which I think is just a GUI to top) and watching it
closely I think I noticed a brief flash of mplayer using 60% or more of
the CPU. But I don't know if this was one of the copies that should not
have been there.

I'm up now to eighteen copies of mplayer alive (though not necessarily
doing anything) as a result of the stream stopping and restarting.

I'll gladly test this for you, but I need to know how to test. If a
modified mplayer.sh is needed, perhaps you can supply it for me,
together with instructions about what to log.

I don't think I've ever seen an mplayer.sh process listed in Activity
Monitor. Perhaps it just comes in under a different name (as one of the
threads in perl or something similar, perhaps).
