Hi There,
You have three choices.
1. The realplayer 8 ebuild is a good choice. Just do 'emerge realplayer' (without the quotes) and it will install the appropriate plugins for Mozilla. Then it should work out of the box (figuratively speaking).
2. I'm not sure of this one because I haven't used it, but I think there is an mplayer plug-in for Netscape/Mozilla. Do 'emerge -s mplayer' (without the quotes) and wee if there is a plug-in ebuild, then just emerge it. Then theoretically you could have streaming quicktime audio.
3. Pay some money and get Crossover Plugin and then you have the functionality of using the windows versions of Quicktime, Realplayer 8/RealONE, and even Windows Media (shudder).
Hope this helps.
Craig

Subject: [gentoo-user] listening to streaming audio?
I have a simple need...I want to listen to NPR public radio (http://npr.org). They offer their broadcasts in Quicktime, Windows Media, or RealAudio formats. Using the packages available in 1.4rc3 (and I'm not hesitant to delve into ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"), what are the most straightforward options for just kicking back and listening to the broadcast? I'd prefer to just click on the web links, but I'm not opposed to pasting URL's into another tool.
