A little more information on this. I've managed to confirm that all 
clients able to play the stream correctly are WMP10, and that at least 
most of the ones not able to play it are /not/ WMP10. Also, I've 
upgraded one of the WMP9 clients to WMP10, and that client was then able 
to play the stream correctly.

I'm still curious to know if the stream described in the HOWTO stream 
been played on WMP9 machines, or if it WMP10-only.
Anybody?
