Why does mplayer no longer play Car Talk?
I used to use mplayer from the console successfully to
listen to the Car Talk radio show.
http://www.cartalk.com/Radio/Show/online.html
As shown below, it now fails with a missing codec, but
I have not removed any packages from my system. Any
suggestions for getting it to work again would
be appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
