    There's also aviplay (package avifile-player), which, I think,
    is lighter-weight than mplayer.
    This plays my local classical music/leftist propaganda radio
    station:
       aviplay mms://pubint.wm.llnwd.net/pubint_wwno &

    Note that mozilla-mplayer also wants to play RealPlayer streams,
    so having it (a plugin) and the RP10 plugin both at the same time
    is a bit squirrely.
