OK, that chunked-encoding etc. would be expected.

But at the moment, i'm completely irritated.
When i run a "wget http://streamserver" first, and then play the file
with mplayer, everything sounds OK.
But when i run "mplayer http://streamserver", then the mp3 errors occur,
and the playback is broken. There is some very strange thing going on here!

But in contrary to Adrian, i don't think that this is a IO scheduling or
real-time problem. The mp3stream is seriously broken - the playback is
not only paused, because data hasn't arrived in time - the mp3stream is
full of damaged mp3 frames, as the error messages by mplayer indicate.

I will further investigate in June.
