[MPlayer-users] ESPN Radio Arcived, Windows Media Audio 9 Voice

[C. Schanck]

Folks,

Recently, in my quest to kick Windows Media Player 6.4 via Codeweavers 
Crossover off my disk, I have tried to play both the live ESPN Radio 
feed, and an archived feed of one of yesterdays shows.

wget -O - -q espnradio.com | grep play=live

gives you the live stream http page; wget that, and you get to:

http://mfile.akamai.com/10478/live/reflector:33040.asx (note that this 
may change, though it was constant from yesterday to today).

This gave:

mms://a1041.l1047833040.c10478.g.lm.akamaistream.net/D/1041/10478/v0001/reflector:33040

as the actual MRL.

This stream plays flawlessly with mplayer. Windows Media Audio 2 (32kbps)

However, picking an archived stream, such as The Dan Patrick show gets 
you this url:

mms://espnigwm.fplive.net/espnig/ondemand/danpatrick.wma

This is encoded as "Windows Media Audio Voice", 20kbsp, mono, I believe. 
Doesn't play worth a damn. IPtraf shows no network traffic at all for 
mplayer.

Any ideas? I really want to use linux for all my multimedia and nuke the 
windows stuff.
