Fedora Users — Re: listen to stream with xmms or mplayer

Sorry but when I add this link to xmms playlist URL . nothing shows up in play list . even it doesn't show other files, sorry , it seems xmms can not play any thing at all . I have removed the xmms and want to install newer one but in xmms site it says that i need one of the followings :

   * ALSA output: ALSA 0.9.0 <http://www.alsa-project.org/> or better.
   * Esound output: esound 0.2.8
     <ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/esound/0.2/> or better.
   * Mikmod input: libmikmod 3.1.10
     <http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/apps/sound/libs/libmikmod-3.1.10.tar.gz>

   * Ogg Vorbis input: libvorbis <http://www.vorbis.com/download_unix.psp>
   * OpenGL Visual plugin: Mesa 3.0 <http://www.mesa3d.org> or better.


   what are they ? and is it necesary to have xmms with another
   software to works ? what about mplayer or real player ? can they
   play streams ?


thanks

any thing I missed , I have xmms and mplayer and both working fine .
Go into XMMS, click on +URL (bottom left)
and put in the following address:
http://205.188.234.65:8026
Then click on it in your play list.. does it work? That's all the PLS file is.. is a pointer to that server..
