Nothing like a new program to motivate buying a new toy, eh?  :-)

I got a lot of cr*p coming out of my speakers when I tried this, so clearly  
I'm doing something wrong, but it was late at night.  In my Copious Spare Time 
(TM) this weekend, I might work on this.

Well, there's a version 5.0 for the Solaris/Sparc platform, and it works...

BTW, notice the download page, when they asked you to "Choose CPU", and one of 
the choices, besides "Pentium", "486", and "PowerPC" was "UNIX box"?

This isn't *exactly* what you asked for, but the MBONE audio (such as vat and 
rat) are used for audio conferencing (along with separate video and 
shared-whiteboard tools).  There are a few "radio station sessions" being 
multicast that you can receive.  The problem is that to make full use of them, 
you need IP multicast on your subnet, which not everyone has...
