I have not been able to extract actual links from .asx files, which are 
Windows Media.  Have you?  They just display the station name and not much 
else.  I use lynx, maybe they need javascript?

What does streaming video look like over a modem connection?  Have you 
found any TV stations worth watching?    Any from Eastern Europe?

Now that you see some utility in using linux for sound, would you want to 
provide a small sound-capable kernel that at least supports sb16? I made 
my own, but it supports only the few ethernet cards that I have, and I 
made a few other changes to it.  Pentium only.
