Following on from what Ned said, you might also want to look at mplayer
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/dload.html
which you can compile with a bunch of windows native codecs on x86
Linux. The configure script has a number of options to determine the
support for streaming style protocols. I'm pretty sure that I have
watched the various lectures that you are probably referring to on Linux
but I might have had to fiddle with the url where the .asf file is
concerned.
I have never tried them
http://www.mplayerhq.hu/homepage/design7/projects.html
but there are a number of related projects that talk about transcoding
and other platform support.
As for working on the Mac, I think you can build mplayer for the Mac but
I don't know whether there are wrappers for the x86 dlls or another
scheme to decode windows files.
Cheers
Mike
