I use Mplayer (the default player suggested by Suse/KDE for conference calls

In windows, starting any archived call triggers it to start immediately.
(using media player).
Mplayer launches, Clicks, and then just sits there.
One becomes convinced it will not work.
20 minutes later it will start playing the lead-in music.
It might do that for another 20 minutes.
Then the call will start, and it works fine (other than having no ability to
use the position slider to step backward and forward like Media Player).
Under Windows Media player, the call starts instantly at the
dialog portion. No music lead in.
Is there any Linux player that works with these calls? (alledgedly
they are ASX format)?
Most probably the first delay is because of the buffering. How big the
buffer (cache) is, and other options can be set trough a config file:

Also, you may try using vlc instead of mplayer.
