click on any radio link in the a/m page - new page reports windows media player
plugin not found - under media tab save page link as whatever.asx - click on
saved asx file in konqueror - mplayer opens and plays live feed.

kde file association puts mplayer at top of list to play asx/asf files - works
when clicked but not when encountrered in the wild.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open the a/m page
2. click on any live feed location
3. "I" get windows media player plugin not found
Actual Results:  
live audio feed not playing.

Expected Results:  
opened mplayer and played the live audio feed which clicking on the saved link does.

I know of problems with the latest realplayer but this does not appear to be
related.
