Thanks for the input. There isn't one included with the package, but I 
agree that it would be useful. 

As the package currently stands, you have to manually find the mms:// 
url. Often, this means viewing the html source of a web page, or 
downloading an .asx file, opening it up, and pulling out the mms:// url 
manually. 

I would like to extend the program to be much more user friendly (i.e. 
if you give it an http address to an .asx file, it will go grab it with 
wget, and pull out the mms on it's own, etc) but first I've got to get 
it initially packaged up. =)
