Err.. please go to the following page. ;)

http://www.radiojai.com.ar/OnLine/

Then click the tab "Música" and choose any of the radio
stations.

.. does not play with mplayer plugin, but with kmplayer it works!

So why is this?

If you look at the address bar in the opening window, you can
extract the following line (for example, if you chose the "jasidica"
radio station):

http://www.rhp.com.ar/canales/jasidico/jasidica6.asx

Now if you pass that to mplayer in command line, it does
not play a thing.

If you pass that same address to kmplayer, it works fine and
gives the output:

mplayer -wid 65012477 -slave  -vo xv,sdl,x11 -ao 
alsa,oss,sdl,arts -framedrop  -contrast 0 -brightness 0 -hue 0 -saturation 
0  -cache 128 'http://www.rhp.com.ar/canales/jasidico/061.wma' -identify

The conclusion: it seems that kmplayer does its own processing of the .asx
format and then passes the things it finds in the .asx file to mplayer..

Cheers,

Sampsa

P.S. That was a fine example of those .. extraordinary..  web-pages my mom 
visits. ;)
