Sorry, this problem turned out to be that I put $s instead of %s in the
player setup in Netscape. Streams now load when I click but problem #2
and #3 still apply:

2) The samples that I tried would show the MS local video, then 
   either hang or show a picture with no sound, or complain about
   the specified stream being unrecognized.

3) It seems like the Linux download is incomplete. There's just 
   the player. The other UNIX downloads, like for Solaris, are
   tar files with codecs, readme, help, etc.
