[streaming] Re: Streaming from VLC 0.8.1 to Windows Media Player

[Ralph Billes]

WMP9 now can decode the stream with the ASF muxer. However it buffers the
stream for 20 seconds, plays for 1 second, and then buffers again. Same for all
3 codecs (DIV2, WMV1 & WMV2).

Strange behaviour. VLC log is attached.

Anyone seen this before? 

Cheers, Ralph.
