[MPlayer-users] MPlayer/Plug-in for URL to .wma file

I am using mplayerplug-in v2.70, MPlayer v1.0pre5, Firefox Version 1.0, 
on RHEL 3.0 with 2.6.10-rc2 kernel. I wish to play archived audio files 
fof baseball games from this site: 
http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/mlb/audio/gda/index.jsp. I believe this 
site uses akamai and Windows Media Services (mms://) to stream .wma 
windows audio files. 
 
On a Windows XP box, I can play these files with Windows Media Player 
10, including fast forwarding and/or positioning at any point in the 
file. With the Linux setup above, I can play the files, but cannot fast 
forward or move to an arbitrary point in the file. The browser/player 
popup window shows start, pause and stop buttons, but no fast forward or 
ability to position in the file.
 
Is there a way to play the files on Linux, including fast forwarding 
and/or positioning at any point in the file?
