I used to use mplayer from the console successfully to listen to the Car Talk radio show. http://www.cartalk.com/Radio/Show/online.html
As shown below, it now fails with a missing codec, but I have not removed any packages from my system. Any suggestions for getting it to work again would be appreciated.
