 works for me every time.  I already have mplayer installed to watch 
 DVDs, so it might as well serve another purpose.

Just a short addition:
for servers that bork the content type of the playlist, it makes sense
to include -playlist in that command, like this:

$ mplayer -playlist 'http://foo.bar/playlist.pls'
