Can't Play Online Radio Station

[Kent West <westk@acu.edu>]

Hey folks!

I'm trying to play the radio link here:

http://www.97gold.com/ (then the "Click here" link just under the jukebox)

but I can't seem to connect. mplayer gives this info:

westk@westek:~$ mplayer

I googled for "debian avisynth", and some have claimed that the problem
is elsewhere, and that avisynth is not required.

Does anyone have any suggestions for what I should do next? Can you play
this radio station?

Thanks!
