Bug#691620: gnome-mplayer: Hang at Caching 0% when playing http streaming audio playlist until FF

[Dominique Brazziel]

Package: gnome-mplayer
Version: 1.0.6-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   Trying to play m3u audio playlist created by 'libapache2-mod-musicindex' 
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?
    Player loads large playlist then starts to cache, hangs at 0% until 
    fast forward is hit.
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   Multiple HTTP requests for non existent files (hex data) seen in
   Apache server logs, strace shows looking for idx, ifo files, etc.
   Only after hitting fast forward button did correct HTTP request
   get sent for the .mp3 file named in the playlist 
   Each time the next song would come up the bad requests are sent
   to the server and fast forward must be pressed again.
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
   Correct filename sent in first request and thereafter.  Totem
   has no problem playing the playlists.
