   I should have added: I am using BL2.

    I tried that in BL3 - and it works !

   In BL3 - this also works !

   For reasons that escape me, I cannot get either of these from inside
BL2.  I have even carefully matched the codecs directory between BL3 and
BL2, but to no observable progress.

   Thanks to Steven and Sindi - at least I will be able to give a good
friend in Canada a URL on which he (and I) can listen to live cricket
commentary from the World Cup in the West Indies.

Regards,
         Ron
