[asterisk-users] Windows Media streaming for MOH?

Anyone have Windows Media streaming for MOH working?  I followed the various
procedures on the Asterisk Wiki for using mplayer which seems to be the only
Linux player capable of playing windows media streaming audio (asf, wmv
etc.).  Anyone get this working?

I can get shoutcast streams working using mpg123 but so far no luck with
windows media streaming.  Is there another player out there or a trick of
some sort?  I've been googling but so far no luck.  

The problem is that many radio stations including the local ones people in
my area use for MOH on their traditional PBX's use windows media streaming.
As a work around I would consider streaming it from a softphone on a Windows
PC to a conference room if I had to.  That may be easier to do but haven't
found much info on that either.  Worst case I would consider a receiver on
Line In on a softphone on a Windows PC or absolute worst case, from line in
audio on the Asterisk server.

Streaming local radio directly on the Asterisk server is the most elegant
solution IMHO.  Any help would be appreciated.
