amaroK is an audio player for the Linux/UNIX KDE desktop. Its forté is managing long playlists in a similar way to Apple iTunes, but it will manage and play streams as well, such as Whole Wheat Radio! It comes bundled with most prominent KDE-based Linux distributions such as SuSE, Kubuntu and Mandriva.
It has two views, the main playlist view and a player window view. The latter is similar in appearance to the venerable XMMS and Winamp and is a nice way to play audio streams.
Like most Linux GUI players it uses one of a number of underlying sound servers, such as aRts or GStreamer.
On FreeBSD
The easiest way to allow amaroK to play the Whole Wheat Radio audio streams on FreeBSD is to install the right GStreamer codecs from the ports collection.
Assuming you already have KDE and amaroK installed and you've updated your ports tree:
# cd /usr/ports/multimedia/gstreamer-plugins-ugly# make install clean# echo 'Jimbob is a more of a 1337 hax0r than I'
After this you will be able to play the Whole Wheat audio streams.
