You will need the win32 codecs from packman.links2linux.org to play windows media content. I haven't tried it with kaffeine, but with the mplayer browser plugin it works, although it's a very slow connection at the moment

PS -- Under the FAQ it also says: http://www.unknowncountry.com/dreamland/listening_faq.phtml#nowmp "I can’t use Windows Media Player or I would prefer not to. Our streaming audio is in Windows Media format. Any audio software compatible with Windows Media files may be used to listen to our programs. There are a variety of options available to people who cannot use the Windows Media Player, or would prefer not to. Many alternative products exist for users of Microsoft Windows. Fewer options exist for Macintosh and Unix/Linux users. Macintosh users might begin with Microsoft's Windows Media Player for OSX. Linux users can add WMA functionality to the popular XMMS with xmms-wma. MPlayer, the movie player for linux, also supports WMA playback. Popular alternatives for Windows systems include Winamp and JetAudio. Additionally, Subscribers have access to a download area containing most, if not all, of our programs, in mp3 format. "
