Well, there's a radio station in RL that I like a lot, called u93. They streaming over the internet, through the media URL http://www.streamaudio.com/stations/asx/wndv_fm.asx

However, that .asx thing is a problem. It is a proprietary playlist format made by microsoft, and for some odd reason its mimetype is video/x-ms-asf

Does anyone know how I can get it to work? I press the play button on the video control, but it just immediately stops.

ASX files are just text files that describe the stream (the URL of it among other things).

In this case it contains:
From: someone
<asx version = "3.0">
<title>WNDV_FM</title>
<entry><ref href = "mms://uni1.sa.streamaudio.com/WNDV_FM"/></entry>
<entry><ref href = "mms://1.uni1.sa.streamaudio.com/WNDV_FM"/></entry>
<entry><ref href = "mms://2.uni1.sa.streamaudio.com/WNDV_FM"/></entry>
</asx>
and SL isn't able to play those so it just won't work.
