Hello everyone. Hope your preparations for a new school year are going well!

I have a new High School Science teacher that uses NPR a lot in her 
lesson plans. I have sound working on three types of terminals (new LTSP 
Term150's, GX1/GXa, and Vectra 66)  in the building now, with sound 
working with games like tuxtype and on some websites (must be using 
flash), but I have not figured out how to play streaming media from 
websites like NPR or, for example, a local talk radio www.850koa.com. 
Also, I can play mp3's from a command line mp3 player, but not from a 
the gui based player in the menu (can't remember the name of that player 
now), and cannot even recall the error message at the moment, but it is 
something about a/the mixer and recreate it once I get into the 
building. The next item to figure out, was streaming content, and now I 
have a teacher that has asked me about it.

Can anyone help me with getting streaming content to work, for example, 
the NPR website?

Thanks in advance,
