I tried it on Firefox on Fedora core 2, and it opens a window asking if I want to download file, or use default Realplayer to play it, Realplayer plays the stream, but at 64kbps, and I only get about 5secs of play before it stops. This could be because I'm on dialup, and it looks like it needs broadband. I also tried it on Firefox on Kubuntu 8.04, and here Mplayerplugin opens, and I get a short bit of audio, but less than on FC2. Realplayer on FC2, is the one I installed from the Realmedia site, and is version 10 Realplayer on Kubuntu 8.04, is part of the Mplayerplug-in pkg, and is version 9. Just a couple of observations.
