Hi Corentin,
I'm working (volunteer) with a German speaking radio station in Canada. I do
not know any thing about Macs, but I help our listerners with PC problems.
Two had a similar problem with steaming audio, both OS X (?version) and MP9.
Our URL: <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.radioherz.com/" target="_blank">http://www.radioherz.com/</a> there please click the "ON AIR" No
problems with OS 9 so far.
Thank you very much, greetings,
Joe.

The direct link is <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://www.radioherz.com/radioherz.asx" target="_blank">http://www.radioherz.com/radioherz.asx</a> it looks like
the endocing you used is not supported in WMP9. I tried to install the
Classic version of the app to give it a try but I had nothing but
trouble so I couldn't test it from there and find out what codecs were
used. Do you know how the file was encoded ???

Thanks. I don't think WMP9 supports Voxware :-<
