Confrimed in Lucid Lynx Beta 1 wtih MPlayer UNKNOWN-4.4.3.

I have http_proxy environment variable set and I can "wget" the mp3 file
I want to stream. Running mplayer to stream the file results in a "Proxy
Authentication Required" messages.

I get the same result when I explicitly specify the proxy details in the
URL given to mplayer (mplayer http_proxy://...etc).

<aside>
The workaround of getting the file wtih wget and piping it to mplayer didn't 
work reliably:

wget http://... -O - | mplayer -

played parts of the file (misse the beginning) only and seemed to skip 
sections. Including the suggested "cache" argument to mplayer resulted in 
nothing being played.
</aside>
