Try telling mpg123 to use stdin as the input file:

wget -O - http://audio.ibiblio.org:8000/wdav-24k|mpg123 -

Or do this:

wget http://audio.ibiblio.org:8000/wdav-24k &
mpg123 wdak-24k
mpg123 index.html

(try both to see which file is created)

That won't work.

Good idea. Xine is a library, usually used with a GUI frontend, but CLI is
available, too. MPlayer is CLI by default, but there are many GUIs for it,
including livid, which turns it into a video editor.
