[MPlayer-users] connecting to surferNetwork streams and the like

[Jim Clark]

Is it possible to connect to audio streams which are hidden behind a plugin,
such as the surferNetwork radio channels? I would like to listen to some of
these on my linux box. Even if I use my windows machine these plugin type
networks have all sorts of annoying web pages and ads,  so it would be good
if there was a direct way to connect. Presumably the surferNetwork plugin
does some stuff which would have to be decoded, but it is probably encoded
using one of the usual methods, and so shouldn't be too hard to get at.
