It seems to work OK for me:
--------------------------------
mplayer mms://202.7.7.90/rnz-cfm
--------------------------------
However, it is a 64kb stream so it 
soon depletes the cache (because it 
is too fast for my dialup connection).

No.  My current mplayer (with wrapper scripts)
does everything I want.  It even works with 
the Firefox plugin.

I believe that works only for http URLs.
wget won't fetch from mms, etc.
