[MPlayer-users] Streaming mplayer - *.wax?

[Stephen Stocker]

  Hi,

  NPR has the worst streaming audio arrangement I've ever run across.
  Javascript, for starters, although that's all to common. :) But a
  bigger problem is that they have at least three different formats,
  depending on whether you're listening to a live stream, a recent
  on-demand stream or an archived show. MPlayer won't handle at least
  one of the archived formats, and one of the developers rewrote some
  code to handle another one awhile back. I think they have Bill Gates
  writing their code or something, because it's an absolute disaster!

  I hope you have better luck than I did, I finally decided to hell with
  NPR.

  	Take care,
	Steve
