''MPlayer can play files from the network, using the HTTP, FTP, MMS or
RTSP/RTP protocol.
 Playing works simply by passing the URL on the command line. MPlayer
honors the http_proxy environment variable, using a proxy if available.
Proxies can also be forced:
mplayer
http_proxy://proxy.micorsops.com:3128/http://micorsops.com:80/stream.asf''

http://www.mplayerhq.hu/DOCS/HTML/en/streaming.html

If you need to authenticate to the proxy, I guess you need to use the
format:

http_proxy://username:password@proxy:port/mms://blah...

but I never tried it and have nothing to test it on.
