No setup required.  Just enter this:
------------------------------------------------
mplayer mms://viptvr.yacast.fr/tvr_franceculture
------------------------------------------------
The mms URL is just an example.

Most the links to streaming audio are wrapped in a sort 
of menu file (.m3u, .pls, .ram, .asx).  It's in text, so 
open it with something that displays text and paste the 
URL to the mplayer commandline.

In a couple of hours I found dozens of working radio 
stations.  Mplayer was able to play most of them.  And, 
as I discovered when I accidently put in the URL for a 
TV station, mplayer does streaming video too.  A truly 
exciting piece of software.

Cheers,
Steven
