At the very end of the process (after signing in with my

Totem could not play
'mmsh://a1518.I2280061804.c22800.g.lm.akamaistream.net/<incredibly_long_url_truncated>.asx'.
Any clues on how I would get totem to play this apparent .asx file? Is
there a different application that would work better? I assume there's
lots of ugliness involving non-free codecs or some such, but I just
wondered if anyone else had this working and could give some hints.
I'm running sid.
thanks so much in advance,

Answering my own question (obviously should have googled *first*), I've now installed mplayer and run the script to get the
non-free components, so I think I'm close. The final hurdle seems to be getting totem to let go of the association to .asx files.
Installing mozilla-mplayer interestingly didn't pry totem away in iceweasel. I'm thinking now that the file associations are
maintained in the KDE control center. Does that sound right? (obviously I use KDE on my desktop)
