Presumably moonlight is supposed to deal with this? Well, back to the day job.
From what I see on the website they are trying to be very clever and serve MacOS with a Silverlight applet and serve Windows with a WMA stream. Aside from ignoring Linux, this is exceedingly poor web design ...
I think they are actually serving Linux with a WMA stream - the Silverlight thing is only for MacOS. Instead of moonlight you might actually need mplayer-plugin or similar with appropriate codecs to play WMA files. This paragraph on their system check really annoys me: "Operating System Linux You are using an unsupported operation system. For unrestricted access to the webcast, we recommend the use of Microsoft® Windows XP or greater. You may be able to access the webcast anyway, though you might encounter unexpected or unsatisfying behaviour." This is really really disappointing, especially from an official UN website and involving such an important event. Somebody (FSFE? EFF?) needs to get on this and publicly shame the UNFCCC.
