I just tried the link above prefixed by mplayer -playlist. I'm on dialup, and didn't expect anything, as some of these sites expect you to be using broadband, and nearly fell off my chair when I got sound output, and continuous sound at that. I tried it on FC2 (Sorry I havn't got Debian booted up at the mo), and the mplayer version installed from tarball on FC2, and is pretty ancient, but is MPlayer-1.0pre7try2. See below for the ouput I got from the Konsole on running, $ mplayer -playlist http://sc1.liquidviewer.com:9062/listen.pls $ mplayer -playlist http://sc1.liquidviewer.com:9062/listen.pls MPlayer 1.0pre7try2-3.3.3 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team CPU: Intel Pentium III Katmai/Pentium III Xeon Tanner (Family: 6, Stepping: 3) Detected cache-line size is 32 bytes CPUflags: MMX: 1 MMX2: 1 3DNow: 0 3DNow2: 0 SSE: 1 SSE2: 0 Compiled for x86 CPU with extensions: MMX MMX2 SSE Resolving sc1.liquidviewer.com for AF_INET6...

I tried it earlier on Firefox, with Mplayerplug-in, but that didn't want to know.
