This works:

mplayer -vo null -ao null -dumpstream -dumpfile
the_itcrowd_ep01_yesterdays_jam.wmv
mms://edge.channel4.com/theitcrowd/episode1_c4web.wmv

The key option is really "-dumpstream", the -dumpfile lets you chose a
filename other than "stream.dump", and the -vo null and -ao null
short-circuit any video output and audio output device probing if you
want to run this headless.
