Indeed this is a (sort of non-obvious) solution for my request. It might
help to include this example in the manpage. In any case you can close
this report.

In most cases it is useful to use a -cache option of at least 1024 when
using mplayer with streams. This might be a useful extension of the last
example.

Great tool.
