It used to be 24K.  The 64K explains why it comes in bursts.
Not mplayer's fault.

What Firefox plugin?

I will use what I compiled for streaming mp3 until I can compile something 
that also plays DVDs and oggs.

I downloaded a linuxpackages mplayer 1.0.  Lots of skins, fonts, man and 
doc pages, vidix, kde stuff and two binaries mplayer and mencoder.

David's mplayer is entirely static, about 7.6MB with 3MB download.  This 
is 7.3MB, with 6.6MB download.

libmad mp3lame freetype cdda_interface cdda_paranoia ungif fribidi gtk 2 
(four of these) pango libraries, gobject gmodule glibc GL Xxf86dgs Xv 
Xxf86vm Xinerama artsc gthread esd audiofile

I do have the right glibc, libgpm , ncurses, nsl, png jpeg, z and even 
asound (where from?).  I doubt this works with OSS.  Probably includes a 
GUI interface.  I play DVDs without X now.

In SW11 it lacks only libesd.so.0 and libmp3lame.so.0
