Hmm ... I'd like to get around 30 seconds (~ 10MB) of such a stream
to see where the problem is caused.  This because replaying AV data
with AC3 or PCM with VDR or with text_av_play just recovers fine
after replay.  On the other hand it may be a problem of the plugin
used for forwarding the mplayer data.  It should not mute the
audio afterwards.
