I just tried the link above prefixed by mplayer -playlist. I'm on dialup, and
didn't expect anything, as some of these sites expect you to be using
broadband, and nearly fell off my chair when I got sound output, and
continuous sound at that.
I tried it on FC2 (Sorry I havn't got Debian booted up at the mo), and the
mplayer version installed from tarball on FC2, and is pretty ancient, but is
MPlayer-1.0pre7try2. See below for the ouput I got from the Konsole on
running,
$ mplayer -playlist http://sc1.liquidviewer.com:9062/listen.pls
$ mplayer -playlist http://sc1.liquidviewer.com:9062/listen.pls

Just a bit of verification that the site outputs sound on dialup.
Nigel.
btw. I tried it earlier on Firefox, with Mplayerplug-in, but that didn't want
to know.
