    But for mozilla-mplayer I need sid, right?
    And I must use mplayer for ppc from somewhere.
    Can you test if it works with the realplayer for linux?

    I tried mimms mms://wm.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/h2g3_episode1.asf
    but it did not work on ppc.
    output is
    host : >wm.bbc.co.uk<
    port : >1755<
    path : >radio4/hitchhikers/h2g3_episode1.asf<
    file : >h2g3_episode1.asf<
    time : >-1<
    creating output file 'h2g3_episode1.asf'
    port: 000006db
    request: Connection timed out

    created a file with 0 byte and nothing more
