I've recently gotten this working with the mplayer plugin. I think I am using the one from Packman repository. if you use 64-bit openSUSE you must use 64-bit firefox (you can install the 32-bit plugin but it won't work w/o 32-bit mplayer, and when you try to install that it wants to convert just about every KDE package to 32bit)
I can play the live streaming audio on Sirius radio and other such sites.

I just installed 11.0 today. Now on some video sites FF can not play the video, it wants "Windows Media Player" but I've not found a Linux plugin for this.
What can I do? BTW I was able to play these videos under 10.1 with SeaMonkey.
Just in case you want an alternative for the mplayer plugin .. There are a lot of weird web-pages out there that mplayer plugin is not able to handle.. I had this problem when installing suse for my 60+ old mom. - Remove mplayer plugin (there seems to be no way to disable it in firefox) - Install the following add-on for firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/446 .. in that add-on you can easily configure an external program that plays for example those .asx and .asf files. The best one I have found (that understands each and every format and every web-page) is kmplayer. An alternative way would be to configure the mimetypes in firefox, but that seems to be somewhat complicated..
