Hi,
I use mplayer to record streaming audio and save the streams by:
mplayer -dumpstream
http://server-address:[port] -dumpfile stream-1000.asf
I usually don't have any problems, but sometimes mplayer might get killed unexpectedly, or terminate the process due to network errors. In short, sometimes the asf files are not closed properly.
When I try to listen those incomplete asf files via mplayer, I get an error message complaining about unknown audio format so I suspect the problem is with the asf headers.
If I try to open the same asf files using amarok however, they play just fine. I'm wondering how I can force mplayer to fix the broken headers(if that's really the case), or ignore the errors and use a specific driver/decoder.
I'm pasting the error messages below. Thanks in advance.
