Gary, I am sorry I misread your email. I haven't really tried too much to have streaming audio through the browser (Although I don't see how this would be different). My problem with Realplayer is that I could get sound but no video. mplayerplug-in is still under development so I am sure they will get it worked out eventually. In the meantime, I would checkout plugger. It doesn't try to haddle the stream itself put hands it off to other apps such as mplayer or xine. Might work better for you. I am actaully going to give it a go tonight.
