The following works for me:

$ mplayer
http://www.abc.net.au/res/streaming/audio/windows/radio_national.asx

The main problem is that they have moved to Akamai for their streaming.
Why putting a voice recording was easier than setting up a HTTP redirect
is quite beyond me.

If playing Windows Media audio streams isn't adventurous enough, you can
play the AAC+ stream with the following (which works at the time of
writing):

$ rtmpdump --live -r
rtmp://cp112896.live.edgefcs.net/live/radio_national@40675 | mplayer -

I got the RTMP URL by looking at:

<http://www.abc.net.au/res/streaming/audio/rtmp/rtmpStreamPointer_rn.js>

Hope this helps!

Jeremy.
