I couldn't find any documentation on rtmpsuck other than that it is a "transparent proxy" and thus seems to need another client to actually access the stream.

I was hoping to find a way to "throttle" rtmpdump to test my hypothesis that it is messing up because it is trying to download too fast.

But more generally, any idea why mplayer would work but rtmpdump wouldn't? I assumed (perhaps mistakenly) that they shared a fair bit of code.
