The stream has been setup as an video stream so it is reasonable for SB
to decide not to play.  At a guess either the station checked the wrong
options on the server or they hope to add video at some point.  It
could be be their "security" method to ensure users use WMP and not
media streamers and so have to watch any ads they decode to broadcast.

Whatever reason - it is marked as a video stream so it is reasonable
for SB to decide it cannot play it. It is also possible that SB does
not had some additional protocol implemented or even the Microsoft
decoder is not licensed to decode those streams or there was not enough
space in SB3 memory to support current mix of decoders and the asf
decoder. 

So, the stream cannot be decoded by SB so it cannot be played through
SN. Also if it require a new decoder in firmware to play this stream,
that is unlikely to happen with SB3 as it has been stated there is
little free memory in the SB3.
