Slimserver should be able to play mms streams, but when I try to
do so, Slimserver fails to stream and outputs a message to the logs
that I don't quite understand.

I am running on Gentoo and compiling from ebuilds from this location: 

http://files.ged.dynodns.net/slimserver/

Please note that Slimserver works with no problems apart from not being
able to play mms streams.

The log /var/log/slimserver shows:

2006-01-10 21:47:51.9195 [IO::String=GLOB(0x9b322f8)] does not exist
or
cannot be read: No such file or directory at
/usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/Audio/WMA.pm line 30.

The relevent snippet from WMA.pm shows that WMA.pm is not being passed
anything:

sub new {
my $class = shift;
my $file  = shift;

my $self  = {};

open(FILE, $file) or do {
warn "[$file] does not exist or cannot be read: $!";
return undef;

Presumably, IO::String is not passing the file to WMA.pm. Either that,
or
the slimserver user does not have permissions to read the GLOB.
However,
I'm not sure what a GLOB is! Is it some sort of reference?

Googling and searching the Slimserver forums does not yield a single
thing... I do believe that streaming has been supported by Slimserver
for some time now so it seems that it's probably something simple.
