Hey Yoni,

Thanks for this. I've just given it a try but sadly it doesn't seem to
work. The moment I remove this bit

    (setq emms-player-list '(emms-player-mpv))

then HTTPS streams start being affected by the long-delay
issue. Emptying the cache with the command above and then readding the
streams as URLs doesn't help apparently.

I'm glad to simply keep the `emms-player-list` setting in my config, but
I'm also happy to debug this further if you have any other idea.

Many thanks! F.
