Here's a thing I found on the net...I don't know if this works or not...
=====================================
Some sites have not configured their RealAudio or Netshow links properly and this seems to be having an unfortunate side-effect of the RealAudio and NetShow
     players (and the "Windows Media Player") not being started when an audio link is clicked - you will be asked if you wish to download the live feed!! 

     This seems particularly problematic for RealAudio feeds and you will find in most cases that the link will be something like
     http://www.xxxxxx.com/pnm://xxxx.xxxx.xx or http://www.xxxxxx.com?pnm://xxxx.xxxx.xx . The part of the address we are interested in is that statring with
     the "pnm", or in the case of Netshow feeds, the part starting with something similar to "mms". 

     To get around this problem, copy the audio link and paste into the relevant player - simply copy the address of the audio feed (Netscape - right-click on the live
     feed link and select "Copy Link Location") and paste into your RealAudio or NetShow player (select "File", "Open Location", and then paste the address into the
     box, deleting all before "pnm" or "mms" and press "OK") For Media Player, select "File", "Open", and then paste the address into the box, again deleting all
     before the "mms" (or similar part) and press "OK" . 

     This is an inconvenience for visitors and if you happen to come across this, do email the webmaster of the station(s) concerned and let him or her know of the
     problem.
