mplayer plays until the end of the file is reached, if that occurs before the 
download completes only part is played. On the next attempt the download may 
start from the point reached, while mplayer plays from the begining again.

Not considered a high priority, download, then play would work. The whole 
method needs looking at to improve. Would still have to stall playing and 
restart. Try a lower rate to match the download speed.

Leaving issue open for more consideration.
