AFAIK, this has to be an ASF stream unless someone has figured out 
something else that works.
The ffserver part of ffmpeg (ffmpeg.sourceforge.net) could stream ASF at 
least back in May,
it may be broken now. Otherwise, WMP9 wants to do progressive download, 
which isn't
possible from a live stream. (or else it wants a proprietary Microsoft 
server, unless someone
reverse-engineered the server protocol)
