Anyone know of a player that will play asf streams?I know that vlc will do it but for some reason the sound constantly speeds up and slow down.It just plain drives me crazy.....uhm.....crazier.

mplayer should if you compile it with +network, or you can emerge asfrecorder and dump the stream to a file.

hmmm
Looks like I'll be re-emerging mplayer then.

Dumping a stream to a file is out of the question considering how I listen to online radio stations for hours at a time while I work.

Thanks for the reply.
Off to warm up 'ol Portage and get 'er ready for a little ride.

Back when I had a RH10 system Mozilla with Realaudio plugin 8/9,streaming worked.

RealAudio10 doesn't and you're one of the few other's that I've run across that is as disappointed as I am.

Maybe if you can find RealAudio 8/9 on the net which I haven't then I think you could get streaming to work on a linux box

Well that was a major waste of time.Seems M$ has made sure Windows media player 7 and up will not install on anything other than a genuine M$ os.
The installer will actually act like its installing the app and adds registry entries but no binary is placed anywhere on the drive.

** Just found out it is a license violation so I'm not going to waste my time with it any longer.

Xmms has a wma plugin and that should work for asf audio.

Thanks for the reply infirit but I've already tried it.Like I mentioned earlier, M$ has two versions of the asf codec. Unfortunately the xmms-wma only works with the older version.
