Hi,

It should be interesting to test if you have the same problem using for 
example dig.

In this case, the problem should not be on mplayer but may be on the 
resolver itself (or in the implementation of getaddr() ?!)

I don't have anything particular when trying to use it (and NS looks to 
be coherent):

geb at arkintoofle:~$ dig www.multicast.org.uk AAAA +short 
deering.ecs.soton.ac.uk.

geb at arkintoofle:~$ mplayer http://www.multicast.org.uk/absoluteradio
