Thanks, you've found 2 bugs here. ;)
One bug in the "mms over tcp" protocol, this one seems to cause a deadlock.
One bug in the "mms over http" protocol. I've just fixed the mmsh problem, 
it's in cvs now.

mplayer plays these stream using the "mms over http" protocol.
if you want to force the usage of the this protocol with xine, use mmsh:// 
instead of mms://
mmsh://sr-wm.qbrick.com/02038_p1-wm-High
mmsh://sr-wm.qbrick.com/02038_p2-musik-wm-High

(you need the cvs version of xine-lib to play these streams)

cheers,
