The following script, when clicked in MS IE will launch an audio stream. The stream can also be bookmarked and played in Windows Media Player, but I can't seem to get any linux-based player to connect. Any ideas or suggestions? I could probably get them to change the script if we found something that worked.

Tell them to use standards instead of proprietary technology (ECMAscript) as I did two years ago when they came on the air -- they didn't listen.

Fine. Write the script. They don't have someone who can.

Um, although they changed their callsign and their organization a few years ago, they have been on the air for many more than two years. They are the NPR affiliate at CMSU. (Do you mean when they started offering the audio stream on the internet?)
I've had a discussion with the guy who's responsible for their on-line streaming, and basically they're using "free software" - software that they already had. They don't have the full version of Windows Media Server up and running, because with the kludged partial install they have they can stream without having to pay Microsoft for the full version. They have a PC with three audio cards, and an under-paid engineer who's done his best, but hasn't had the time or resources to build an OSS streaming server.
I've appealed here before for volunteers to work on the project, and offered to provide hardware back when I could afford it. and received one non-commital response.
You can sit back and bitch all you want, Jason, but it doesn't really advance the cause.
