The "ASX Stream" links seem to end in .asx but when I use that url in
mplayer, it fills the cache with ~240-250 bytes and then says:
Exiting... (End of file)
The error stated is:
size_confirm mismatch!: 22611 28271
Error while parsing chunk header
Failed, exiting.
Adding the "-playlist" option seems to help but not sure why firefox
doesn't do that automatically.
If I use the same link minus the .asx ending (or indeed ironically
with any other 3 letter ending but .asx) it seems to work.
Windows media player gives the nondescript "can't play this file"
independent of the suffix.
