From Linux desktop, click VirtualBox, start XP, open IE, url to conference call, click on link. VOILA!!! Instant sound on the desktop under Linux with WMP. I just tested it on my system and it works here.

In other words, use the right tool for the job and don't get hung up on the brand name.
Fred, it solves the immediate problem, yes. But such an approach IMO is "half-baked": 1. Yahoo logs will show less hits from linux machines - i.e. they will have no reason even to think to improve the situation. 2. It does not help mplayer to become better - no feedback to the developers, so they do not know that mplayer can not deal properly with some kind of content. Do not forget, that "free" in software is not price-free. The price can be even your involvement in expanding the use, and in providing a feedback, so the things get improved. So, as you have made the first step, make the rest - mail yahoo and complain that their streams are broker (or not working properly under linux), and file a bug report at mplayer-hq.hu, so the guys behind mplayer can investigate the problem.
