Hi, I'm having trouble getting AlienBBC going on my Linux box and I suspect it's an mplayer or codec issue. I can't get any of the stations in AlienBBC to play, they just sit there in silence.
Doing a very basic test on mplayer renders the following result: [EMAIL PROTECTED] odysseus]# mplayer rtsp://rmlivev8bb.bbc.net.uk/farm/*/ev7/live24/radio4/live/r4_dsat_g2.ra MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.3.1 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel Pentium M Banias (Family: 6, Stepping: 5) Detected cache-line size is 64 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 1 Compiled with runtime CPU detection - WARNING - this is not optimal!

Codec errors perhaps? Cheers!
