I can play this MP3 stream in xmms.
http://rope.kgoam810.com/listenlive/listenlive.pls

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.

I tried it, here is the result:

Quote

High Performance MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 Audio Player for Layer 1, 2, and 3.
Version 0.59q (2002/03/23). Written and copyrights by Joe Drew.
Uses code from various people. See 'README' for more!

Directory: http:/
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?
