Streaming 6pr (was Re: [plug] windows - a rant)

[Bennett, Phillip]

My versoin of mplayer is mplayer-1.0-0.pre3.11plf

It's an 'older' version than yours, but I wouldn't think it was THAT much
older...

Hmmm. What version of mplayer are you using? I was using 
"1.0-pre3cvs20040404". Just upgraded to 1.0-pre4 and it still has the same 
problem. Perhaps an older version works better?

I suppose there isn't a WAIX/Parnet mirror/proxy of the TripleJ stream is 
there? ^_^
