Many streaming audio/video formats include multiple stream sources,
and mplayer doesn't seem to support that. If you 'wget
http://www.wlup.com/live/wlup.asx' and then look at the wlup.asx file,
you'll see 3 lines as follows:

<Ref href = "rtsp://live1.bonnevillechicago.com/wlup" />
<Ref href = "mms://live1.bonnevillechicago.com/wlup" />
<Ref href = "http://live1.bonnevillechicago.com/wlup" />

Feed one of those URLs to mplayer or mythstream and it should work as
you expect. Would be nice if mplayer could properly decode the
multi-entry .asx, ram, and .pls files.
