Yes well they've specifically chosen to make it next-to-impossible for
the PPC to support their broken 'player'. It's encumbered with about
100k of trash webpage which appears to be there only to obfuscate the
site source.

Try copy & pasting this from notepad and see if it opens from the
player File->Open URL box :

mms://mudwmle018.bcst.mud.yahoo.com/bcenc202210?StreamID=17131263&sg_id=49573&b=9e01ogh16avp042e8015d&Segment=149773&RegID=45611751015156790&ru=MozillaMSIE&CG_ID=1369081

Yeah I've been putting my data plan to good use by watching this stream.
Even over 1x data the 161k stream buffers only a few times every couple of
minutes.

yes, it does buffer at 1x...but at work I am EV mode and works pretty
consistently.

Wow 50 gigs, and to think I'm fighting to get a measly 2Mb for my church.
