 '''How to reproduce'''

 Invoke ffplay from non-graphical console (e.g., tty3 with empty DISPLAY
 environment variable)

 {{{
 % ffplay file.mp3
 % ffplay http://url.com/file.mp3
 % ffplay -nodisp file.mp3
 % ffplay -nodisp http://url.com/file.mp3
 }}}

 What happens:

 What I would have expected of ffplay:
 Playing file.mp3.
