| Say you start cplay with:
|   % cplay http://relay0.fm4.amd.co.at:31337/fm4-lq.ogg
| It will then run os.path.abspath() on this string which will lead to e.g.
| /home/tbm/http:/relay0.fm4.amd.co.at:31337/fm4-lq.ogg which obviously
| fails to open.
| 
| Georg Lehner created a patch which only uses os.path.abspath() on
| arguments which are indeed local files.  It's attached below.  Can you
| please apply it.

The patch has been applied (with modification) to cplay-1.50pre5.

Thank you,
