I usually look for the real URL of the stream if its not obvious:

$ fetch -o - 'http://cgi.omroep.nl/cgi-bin/streams?/tv/vara/dewerelddraaitdoor/bb.20061109.asf?start=0:0:1478.6&end=0:0:1875.8'
-                                               0% of  195  B    0
Bps<ASX version = "3.0"> <ENTRY>
<Ref href =
"mms://topstreams.omroep.nl/tv/vara/dewerelddraaitdoor/bb.20061109.asf"/>
<STARTTIME VALUE="0:0:1478.6"/> <DURATION VALUE="00:06:37"/>
</ENTRY>

</ASX>

Then play it like:
mplayer "mms://topstreams.omroep.nl/tv/vara/dewerelddraaitdoor/bb.20061109.asf"

HTH,
