I have a streaming site mplayer can't seem to digest. The most flagrant is <A HREF="http://www.npr.org">http://www.npr.org</A>. I am hoping someone can help me figure out what I might be doing wrong.<BR>
<BR>
Here is what I have:<BR>
<BR>
SuSE 9.0<BR>
MPlayer 1.0Pre3-3.3.1<BR>
<BR>
If I go to this URL, <A HREF="http://www.npr.org/programs/morning">http://www.npr.org/programs/morning</A> and select a link to "Listen to *day's Show", the link kicks a javascript that generates a file that is passed to mplayer. Mplayer chokes. I saved the .wax file and have a bit of it here:<BR>

Now, I get some audio, but it's a fraction of a second every few minutes. It's not a bandwidth issue, as winblows media player plays fine.<BR>
<BR>
I've looked through DOCS but couldn't find any pointers.<BR>
I've scoured the internet but couldn't find any pointers.<BR>
Are there any pointers here?<BR>
<BR>
Thanks in advance.<BR>
