Could be an idea. Or even better tyy the methods in different order,  
like WMD does (mmst first i think).

I have another problematic url for you to check.
If i play it with -playlist it doesn't work. but if i wget the playlist  
and play the dowloaded playlist file from disk with mplayer -playlist  
it works. The url is

http://cartalk.cars.com/Radio/Show/Audio/200408/wms/CT0408-SHOW.asx

The file does not work, the codec is WMA Voice 9 (0xa) and it's  
unsupported yet.

Ciao,
