I'm using the CVS snapshot (because I wanted ASX support). Browsing
around windowsmedia.com, the video streams (mostly) seem to work (the
exception seems to be those with overcomplex ASX files which try to
download bitmaps etc.). However none of the radio streams work. The
player starts using 100% CPU and there is no sound.
This is the output I get:
$ mplayer -v http://www.msnbc.com/news/asx/audio/28/MSNBC_ie5radio.asx
