They have a page that explains their streaming format requirements here:

http://www.wgst.com/pages/listenlive.html

But it says there that the stream will play if you have the Mplayer plugin on 
Linux. I have that plugin and it still doesn't work. In fact, that's the 
first streaming content I have come across that *doesn't* work with the 
Mplayer plugin.
