I am trying to access the internet audio from nfl.com, but I can't seem
to get it to work. This is the url that I am getting from the site:

http://webevents.yahoo.com/streamlaunch/launch.asp?ei=2666&sgid=15093

When I try to load it, the message says that it is of video/x-ms-asf
format and so I select aviplay to play it. This is from Galeon. Aviplay
will then load, it will say openning for a few seconds and then depart.

Running it from term produces the following output:

        If you wish to store the stream into a local file
        you may try to use this before starting aviplay:
                export WRITE_ASF=1
        this will create /tmp/asfXXXXX with received data

And there it sits, apparently forever, though I haven't tested that :-)

Checking ps -aux, there are three instances of aviplay listed:

All the same.

Does anyone know what can be done to access these?
