Everyone on the list here needs to be aware that receiving Windows Media Streams is not, as of right now, an RPM plug and play deal. Xmms as it is installed on the system vanilla will not do it. You have two options, Tom. First you can go to sourceforge and download something called Avi4Xmms, and that will require you to recompile Xmms. The other thing you can do is to find a copy of Windows Media Player, version 6 or perhaps older, and try running it with Transgaming Winex or Codeweavers Wine. Transgaming is a product that's meant to handle games, but since it will handle a sophisticated entity such as a directx game it will also do many other things. One happens to be running Windows Media Player.
