Well I've checked and it seems to work pretty well on my linux.
Yet you should know two things -

It looks like this stream isn't played properly with ffmpeg audio Wma2
decoder - thus you will have to use  win32 DLL (obviously only i386
systems are supported in this case)

If yoa are behind some firewall - don't forget to use some proxy server.
(i.e. you could be behind firewall - WMP useses settings from your
browser)

If you need any more help - let me know (even by icq)

Good - just be sure you are using same latest version
(in the CVS I've sligtly improved parsing of http_proxy settings)

For selecting code see Config/Decoder tab and move some win codec to the
top most position
