Darren,
You should look at the libavformat/libavcodec support I checked in for WMA
support. The libraries support RTSP as well as Real streams and I believe
can handle Windows Media streams as well. The modifications should be
trivial to feed it a URL rather than filename. I think this is the type of
integration that Isaac is looking for
