How do I stream an mp3 file without using a player Or is there a 
way?  (I'd use Ubuntu 8.10, but the port is busted right now. 
Besides, it's time that it just-worked with FreeBSD.  We've already 
got the most rock solid server OS; why can't we go the additional few 
centimeters?


Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question, but mplayer-plugin has worked 
under Firefox for a long time now. If you have a URL, I can try it from 
here.

My bad.  I guess I mis-clivked because at least usinf firefox I
*do* get audio.  (I did do a theraputic reboot.)  But still at
fault was that many of the graphics have that broken-frame
square.  I looked thru my configuration; found an
add-oncalled No-Script and disabled it.  Upon restarting
firefox3, the site graphics are back.Live and learn:: *read*
before on add a security feature.

The free, non-commercial language site is down in
Victoria.gov.au.  http://www.education.vic.gov.au/languagesonline/


thanks much indeed,

gary
