| the streaming, choose to use Windows Media for this chore, that means that
| things are not as easy as they could be for Linux and non-Microsoft users.
| Fortunately MPlayer 1.0 along with the MPlayer plug-in for Mozilla seem to
| handle MMS just fine. But depending on your Linux distro you might need to
| install those.
