 Try to view the windows media version and in the popup that says that you 
don't have windows media installed select that text, right click and "View 
Selection Source". There you will see a couple of javascript lines, focus 
on the document.write line and find the actual url of the asx playlist. 
wget this "url" and see in there what is the actual url to the .asf file. 
Then wget this url replacing mms:// with http://. If you don't want to 
save anything on disk you can run mplayer -playlist 
url_to_asx_playlist.asx and mplayer will play it for you.

 Good luck!
