If you go to http://www.npr.org/worldwide/ you can select WM or RM
manually and it'll try to download a .asx or .smil file. Try playing that
with -playlist. It works for me, although playing the Real Stream requires
LIVE.COM libs. Maybe you can submit this to mplayerplug-in authors to
provide support in future versions.
