[ripecast] mplayer doesn't know the audio codec used (0xA)

Hello RIPE Webcast people,

I've tried to view the sessions being webcasted, and a problem.

The audio codec used is not supported by mplayer, and I haven't been
able to locate any other open source program capable of playing these
streams.

Mplayers identified the audio stream as follows :

======= WAVE Format =======
Format Tag: 10 (0xA)
Channels: 1
Samplerate: 8000
avg byte/sec: 1000
Block align: 300
bits/sample: 16
[..]

Cannot find codec for audio format 0xA

A fairly extensive google search for the problem finds a few people who
have the same problem, but no solutions.

Checking the mplayer sources ( mplayer-1.0pre1 , latest release) shows that
this codec/format is indeed unknown. 

I'd appreciate it if you could change the codec to either plain PCM, or
MP3, for example.
(Actually, what -is- the codec used at the moment ? )
Unless I missed something perhaps, in which case I hope you can provide a few
pointers on how to use mplayer (or any other free unix tool ) to view and
listen to the webcasts.

Apart from this problem though, I'd hope that RIPE would use non-propietary
formats in general as much as possible.
