you can get a copy of Codeweavers plugins for not a lot of cash and they
enable a lot windowsy stuff, via WINE etc.

For a lot of your streaming stuff , you could use RealAudio 8 , or even 7 .
IF it's anything to do w/ windows media player, you most likely will need
the plugin package from codeweavers. Windows is proprietary software, and
you may know they aren't at all interested in supporting anything to do w/
Linux, and certainly not anything that would be desktop apps support. 

www.codeweavers.com , I think.
