Both. I tried originally with the downloaded .ram file for that same
audio stream.

OT: in the interests of having a more user-friendly experience, such as
fast-forward etc., I also tried with gmplayer (also with -playlist). It
started playing OK but on hitting the fast-forward control the UI just
froze and had to be "kill -9"'ed. gmplayer seems to be someone's idea of
a joke, which is a pity as mplayer is otherwise very capable.
