You are right, I meant end users. And it is possible to use VLC,... but one may need to change the embedded player, so not every user will do that. But some broadcasters may use scripts that work in Windows only. I know how to find stream URLs and play them in VLC, MPlayer, but I don't really want to do that every time.

You can stream WMA from a Linux server. I just don't like WMA... as well as many other Microsoft products including Windows Media Player, Internet Explorer and Windows 7 I prefer cross-platform, open-source applications and open standards.
