[MPlayer-users] ASF Playlist?

[Kevin DeKorte]

I didn't say that the current cvs of mplayer plays the url. I said the current 
cvs of mplayerplug-in (http://mplayerplug-in.sf.net) will play it. 
Mplayerplug-in is a mozilla plug-in that uses mplayer to play videos from a 
URL and display it in the browser.
