Bill,

I can successfully play the audio stream you are wanting by using
http://www.cbc.ca/livemedia/cbcr1-ottawa.asx as the URL instead of the
one you listed above.  I did it by looking at the source of the webpage
(to my knowledge, rhythmbox has never been able to parse and extract a
stream from HTML...how would it know what stream if there were more than
one?) and creating a new "Internet Radio Station".  Also, since it is a
windows media stream, you'll need gstreamer-plugins-bad and/or
gstreamer-plugins-ugly (I'm not sure which one specifically, I always
install both).  I assume you know how/where to get that...

Now, if you want to go to the HTML page and just have rhythmbox open it
up, I think you'll need to do a combination of disabling JavaScript for
that page (there's a JavaScript player that is wrapping the URL) and
also tell your browser that you don't want to use the totem plugin for
that media/mime-type.
