I've got some strange things going on here. I have an intel Mini and a MacBook Pro, both running 10.4.11. On both I can listen to KCSN.org mp3 high bandwidth streams. On the 'Book I can listen to KUNM.org's QT stream (http://kunm.org/listen/kunm128k.mov) BUT on the Mini all I get is an occasional syllable or note. This is very strange. What could be causing this?
And then there's KTAO.com which has the gaucherie to have only a Windoze Media stream, and I've been having a hell of a time. Managed to have it going fine (on the Mini) for about 15 minutes and about the time the show I wanted to hear was coming on, it fell silent. Hmmm. There's this QT-like bar at the top of the Firefox window with the graybar progressing across, and the knob thing moving more slowly, and at the bottom of the page, while all of this is moving, it says "stopped".
