"The BBC provide a live cricket commentary and scoreboard. As at 2007-08-09
12:50 the URL was

http://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaselector/check/player/sol/newsid_6160000/newsid_6162500?redirect=6162564.stm&news=1&nbram=1&bbwm=1&bbram=1&nbwm=1

If I have totem-gstreamer installed then the feed fails to play. If I install
totem-xine instead then everything works fine.

I have Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn. gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg is installed.
...
Unfortunately, a specific URL only exists whilst the game being reported is
actually being played. So testing can only happen when a game is being
reported. (The BBC pipe their radio commentary and an information display feed
to a game specific URL.) Fortunately, the BBC are always reporting on some
game, as long as one is being played somewhere, so it is a question of going to
the main cricket page and then finding the currently in use URL.

I haven't tried them with the GStreamer version to see if they exhibit the same
problems, they appear to work fine under the Xine version, but the BBC do have
various video/audio articles on the sport main page
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport). Again specific URLs change on a daily basis but
there is always something there.

The BBC help page is currently:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/video_and_audio/help_guide/4304501.stm, but I
guess this might change as well :-)"
