Multimedia :: play MP3 stream with a (no GUI) command line playe



I can play this MP3 stream in xmms.

Can I play this from just the command line only, without X and the GUI?

This streaming audio is located on this page:
http://www.kgoam810.com/listenlive.asp

I have one older PC and the constraints are:
1.  First ISA slot is being used by the network card.
2.  Second ISA slot is being used by the sound card.
3.  Third ISA slot is being used by a disk controller.
4.  The disk controller on the motherboard cannot be used, it gives "disk controller failure" errors.
5.  The motherboard has only 3 ISA slots.
6.  The VGA port on the motherboard produces a flickering effect on the screen about 10 minutes after booting up.  I've tried different monitors.  Same results.

But dsl-2.1b works just fine on this PC.
I don't care about the VGA port because the PC is old and running X is not necessary for me.
I would like to continue using this old PC as a streaming audio device.
I want to ssh into this (now headless) PC and start playing the MP3 audio stream from just the command line.

I could not figure out how to do this with xmms.
Can I do this with some other player?
What do you suggest?
I would suggest using mplayer.  It plays and even saves streaming audio. Get it from the multimedia section of the repository.
hi
open a terminal and try this.

I tried it, here is the result:

Playing MPEG stream from abcrad.ic.llnwd.net ...
MPEG 1.0 layer III, 24 kbit/s, 22050 Hz mono
libao - OSS cannot set rate to 22050
Can't find a suitable libao driver. (Is device in use?)

But I can still stream this in xmms before and after mpg123.
Can this be fixed?

Ok.  But, how do I install mplayer from the commandline without a GUI?
