anyone figured out how to listened to nation public radio with gentoo linux + firefox? if so,
please give details. i have mplayer and xmms. i've tried to get both to work without any luck.
the links provided on npr cause either a .smil or .wax file to be downloaded, (real media and
windows media respectively.)

may be i need xine? something else? advice please.

thanks:!:

I just installed realplayer to see if I can listen to npr. Works fine.

1. I downloadeded and installed realplayer 10.

2. Followed these instructions about copying plugins.

3. I clicked the "Program Stream" link on the npr web page, and the plugin didn't start, so I opened the file with "/usr/bin/realplay" and realplayer started to stream npr.
