Thats disconcerting. I've only every tried mplayer and vlc -
including hte VLC plugin in Firefox - and thats worked for me. But
most times I'm not watching the stream as I'm.. well, there! :)<br>

Have a test on this:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://icecast.plug.org.au:8000/PLUG-Live-Holding-Loop.ogg">http://icecast.plug.org.au:8000/PLUG-Live-Holding-Loop.ogg</a><br>
<br>
The video is out of date (2 points to whomever can guess why)....
and its not showing up as a "mount" on the front page, but if you
hit that URL you'll get an Ogg Teora idea streamed back to you....<br>
<br>
<br>
Also, contributions welcomed for new PLUG videos! ;)<br>
