Audio only stream from VLC doesnt work (video+audio work well)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load a playlist file from smb source (The playlist file only has the 
http address of a stream)
2. Launch VLC to begin the streaming

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It works amazingly great with video files (and the caching just last 1sec)
but when i stream audio only, it doesn't work at all, or the music starts 
when i press stop on VLC (which i believe stop filling the cash, that 
somehow leads to make mplayer starts 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Mplayer CE 0.61
Pal Wii converted to NTSC.
VLC 0.6 (works best than the last version 0.99) under WinXP sp3

Please provide any additional information below.
My primary goal is to be able to play music using the wii (the wii being 
linked to my primary sound system) from my laptop, using VLC.

Also, going trough the smb to launch the stream might not be the clever 
idea, but thats the only way i find out to do it.

Hmm, that's an interesting bug, we'll look into it.  Additionally, to load your
stream through MPlayer rather than through SMB try editing menu.conf.  Similar 
to the
radio streams you can use the command:

loadfile http://your.stream.ip/

Yes, I tried to go that way first, but the result is the same. So the question 
is, why 
do webradios work perfectly, whereas local audio only streams doesn't.
thanks for your fast answer btw.

Ok, looks like changing the encapsulation settings in VLC solve the problem, 
the only 
encapsulation that works for me is ASF/WMV..
