OK. Back to my starting point: if I run "wget http://www.radiomontecarlo.net/Radio/asx/rmcfm.asx"; on my PC, I get a file containing: <ASX VERSION="3.0"> <ENTRY> <TITLE>Radio Monte Carlo</TITLE> <AUTHOR>Radio Monte Carlo</AUTHOR> <COPYRIGHT></COPYRIGHT> <REF HREF="mms://151.1.245.1/2" /> <REF HREF="http://151.1.245.1/2"; /> </ENTRY> </ASX> This means that the station uses both mms and http as transport protocol and the player can choose one of them. This does not say anything about the codec used to encode the stream. This also means that SB player (or Squeezeetwork server software ?) processes the .asx file to get the actual streaming URL.
