Streaming Flash Audio streams

[cc1091]

In the past half year, many radio stations who have up until now streamed audio freely have decided to limit their streams to those who use a flash player that is implemented (at least to my knowledge) only through extensions within the Microsoft Media Player. Microsoft has offered a workaround through installation of their silverlight program through most browsers, but this does not help owners of the PopcornHour (or I assume most other owners of NMTs) when attempting to stream audio programing directly to their PCH. I am tempted to spend the extra bucks on a MS box to sit in my audio system. This is what I wanted the PCH to do. This is what the PCH box did for the better part of 8 months until the paradigm changed. Is there a way to regain this operability through the PCH box?

I'd better give an example here as it appears that no one understands what I am talking about.

Go to http://www.wccoradio.com/ and click on the Listen Live link. This is an example of the kind of radio link that I used to be able to gain a web stream broadcast from using a self composed web page and an embedded link pointing to the web stream. NOW, it isn't possible. I would love to see a plugin to allow this, especially the 'TIVO'-ing of these streams.

Fortunately for now most flash is actually just obfusgating a normal stream through their player, so you don't really want "flash audio" Here's WCCO
