MPlayer stalled when option -aid and MMS over TCP protocol are used

[cosoleto@…]

Hello,

The following is what happens trying to run mplayer with a stream by RAI italian television channel that uses MMS protocol and ASF format.

mplayer mms://212.162.68.102/prodtvr1 (ok)
mplayer -aid 1 mms://212.162.68.102/prodtvr1 (stalled)
mplayer -aid 1 -vid 2 mms://212.162.68.102/prodtvr1 (stalled)
mplayer -vid 2 mms://212.162.68.102/prodtvr1 (ok)
mplayer2 -aid 3 -vid 2 mms://212.162.68.102/prodtvr1 (quits with error: "no stream found")

Bug is present in HEAD and 1.0rc2.

MPlayer output:

mplayer -aid 1 -vid 2 mms://212.162.68.102/prodtvr1

Using "mms://212.162.68.163/prodtvr1" instead of "mms://212.162.68.102/prodtvr1" mplayer works correctly. Attached more logs.

mms://62.101.89.195/Sat2000 (or mms://89.119.94.130/Sat2000) is an example of pratically not usable stream, always by an notable italian television channel. As reported by VLC, it contains 2 audio and 3 video streams in different bitrate, MPlayer by default can play only 9 Kbit audio and 25 kb/s video stream:

The problem is in MMS over TCP code. I see this implementation is very old and incomplete as MMS and ASF were not documented in those days, I am working on a patch.
