Bingo... works for me! (I too kept thinking problem was with codecs
etc.)

- Any idea though why you need to do this "kluge" of writing mmst in
  place of the 'mms' url that appears in the http link?

- Also, why do xine (and windoze media player) work ok here without the
  kluge?

- Is this a "bug" that is/should be fixed in mplayer?

Thanks,
