Hmm, that's not really true dude - you coulda used the VideoLAN plugin
for your browser to access any WMA / ASF streams :
http://www.videolan.org/vlc/features.html an you can slap that plugin
into firefox on the Mac.


On a side note - how are you lot getting on with the Safari for windows
- I've not run through the test matrix for many types of streaming media
yet, so it would be interesting to know what issues you're seeing with
audio and video plugins / embeds and the like
