I recently noticed something similar with local files (but didn't  
look into it...), does that cause issues for you as well (i.e. just  
playing a mp3 or ogg, or reading your asx)?
If not, and you suspect it's related to my changes, do you still see  
the issue when you remove the Range: %lld-\\r\n line from the http  
request header in http.c (this effectively remove all effects that my  
code may have)? If that fixes it, does it help if you modify the line  
to read %lld-* or %lld-%lld (where the second is the file length)?

Cheers,
Ronald
