As someone mentioned, this is not a very linux-compatible computer, but it 
does work with pulp linux and sound, including mplayer.

However, Firefox 2 does not work (illegal instruction).
Opera 9 semi-works (menu is missing).
Seamonkey 1.1.19 works best (in 130% of the 96MB RAM) and I was able to 
click on wcpe's mp3 or wma links but no sound,

Downloading the pls or asx to tmp and trying to play with 
mplayer reveals that avisynth.dll is missing.  BL2 does not have it 
either.  Yet another new codec.  For some reason the stations insist on 
using a video codec to play audio (sometimes also flash).

I did not test if these browsers work in BL2 yet.

Same problem at a few stations using mplayer with the URL.

I tested some scripts for classical stations that used to work with 
mplayer and packaged the few that still work as
