I'm trying to listen to my favorite music channel: < 80's Channel > but it's not working for me.
I tried XMMS: keep's pre-buffering but no music
MPLAYER stated the following error: FAILED TO CREATE AF_INET6 SOCKET.

I'm using NATIVE-DSL
Can somebody help me?

You can safely ignore that mplayer error, that's only used for ipv6 afaik.
Maybe these players don't have the codec...? Pasting the apps' logs could be helpful.

Did you try xine?

Maybe it's a codec-problem but where/how to check it?
Xine I don't know but I installed it but in my believe it's a video-player and not a audio-player

Maybe running it from a terminal will show the output. Otherwise check each app's specific logs (maybe theres an option, etc.)

Xine is like mplayer afaik, both media players. If you think about it, most "videos" consist of the picture, and audio, so it may work.
