It is worse than this.

I don't know how to tackle the WMP sites at all.
Lynx recognize the link as video/x-ms-asf, and produces no URL at all, 
just a station description (or sometimes a blank page).

MP3 (.mp3, but URLs that you actually play can end in anything)

audio/x-mpegurl  (.m3u)
A typical one gave ........... URL

audio/x-scpls (.pls playlist)
...... File1=http:..... .....   File2=http:.... .......
The SECOND file here contains the broadcast, the first just an intro to 
the station.

Realaudio (.ra .ram .rm .rmm)

audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin
rtsp:/...........?........
It needs to be cut off at the ?

audio/x-pn-realaudio
rtsp:.....?...........  --stop -- pnm:.....
What plays is the rtsp:// part (the first, not the second URL)

audio/x-pn-realaudio
http://......?
Cut off at the ?

So the script for mp3 needs to select the second, and the one for 
realaudio the first, URL.  But this is just a small sample so far.

For LYNX I need to set up correspondences such as:

SUFFIX:.wav:audio/xwav
VIEWER:audio/xwav:play $1  (or "$@")

SUFFIX:.rm:audio/x-pn-realaudio
SUFFIX:.ram: (etc.)
VIEWER:audio/x-pn-realaudio:/usr/local/sbin/script-toplay-realaudio $1
VIEWER:audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin:/usr/local/sbin/script...

SUFFIX:.pls:audio/x-scpls
SUFFIX:.m3u:audio/x-mpegurl
VIEWER:audio/x-scpls:script-toplay-mp3 $1
VIEWER:audio/x-mpegurl:script...

SUFFIX: ..  (for ogg).

WMP is beyond me - where does the player get the URL?  Maybe it is hidden 
as javascript somewhere and links might handle it.
