Well I have a solution, it's not a command line program but does everything else I need - it's called radiotray.
I think it confirms my faith in the old Unix philosophy of small tools that do one thing well. *All* it does is play internet radio streams, no attempt at a GUI (it's a tray app, hence its name), the whole interface is just a way to build a list of station names and a way to select one.
It plays the BBC's .asx streams 'out of the box'.
It doesn't for me so can somebody help point me in the right direction please?
It plays 'Classic Rock' ok but tells me 'Your GStreamer installation is missing a plugin' when trying the Radio 4 link Chris G posted earlier.
But I'm stumped when it comes to deciding *which* plugin I need. I've just installed a load of them in the hope that it would solve the problem but it didn't.
The ones I have installed are:-
gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 gstreamer0.10-pulseaudio gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-alsa gstreamer0.10-gnomevfs gstreamer0.10-plugins-good gstreamer0.10-plugins-base gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly
I think it may be gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly that you need for .asx streams.
