Stream fails with MPlayer 1.0-pre7

[Justin Ekis]

Real audio streams are strange sometimes. If you get a stream address 
that starts with pnm and it doesn't work, try it with rtsp instead. Same 
applies in the reverse, if rtsp fails try pnm. If neither works try http 
as a last resort though that hardly ever works. 
Accessing the stream you listed over rtsp plays fine.

Hope this helps.
