I've been a fan of the NPR show "Car Talk" for years now.  I can't easily
hear it on the actual radio any more, so I have been playing the Internet
stream.

However, they recently switched from Real to wma9 streaming formats, and
nothing I can find will play their stream under Linux.  Their site claims
mplayer will -- but the Marillat version at least, does not.  Neither will
avifile-player (even with the Windows codecs) or xine.

All of them show the same behavior.  They say "Buffering", then act as if
they're playing a stream (that is, the timer advances) but in total silence.

The streams are visible at
<http://cartalk.cars.com/Radio/Show/Audio/200408/wms/CT0408-SHOW.asx>.

Any suggestions?
