I have a "DROP all incoming/ALLOW all outgoing" type setup on my systems and I can listen to internet radio without problems (in fact it runs almost 24/7).
Some people might consider my "ALLOW all outgoing" to be too lax, but I am the only user and I only install programs from Debian sources. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough. (Albert Einstein)
