[MPlayer-users] [Can't find codec for audio format 0xA!]

Greetings mplayers,

My need is a simple one; to be able to listen to a live audio web-cast
once a week. A quick background on it. It used to be broadcast for
RealPlayer last year and I had no trouble listening with Linux. A couple
months back, the stream was converted to ASF and I installed avifile to
be able to get it. The format of the stream has changed a third time now
and avifile can't handle it. I've been trying to get it with mplayer but
to no avail.

I can't explain why it doesn't work due to my complete lack of knowledge
about it. It would be better if someone of advanced expertise, with a
finely tuned installation could attempt a connection and diagnose the
problem. The show is broadcast M-F 10pm-1am EDT. Here is my stdout:
