Didin't help. Using the cache I had the same problem with stuttering video 
when streaming from dvb. After some minutes it happened that the mplayer 
cache was completely filled and when I wrote the next chunk of data in it it 
was suddenly empty :-/
So I wrote my own extern "cache" but the situation didn't change much. Only 
after disabling the stdin buffer the problems disappeared.

Don't know, at least it also exists under win32, so to me it seems to be 
quite portable.
