Webstream player problems/status

The player not starting automatically seems to affect the graphic designer as well, but upon clicking play it works (guessing this may be due to buffering withing the Flash player rather than the stream).

I can get audio back on the stream, as before, but would need to install sound card drivers on the machine... this would still only be audio off a CD and no mic moments. I'm going to be disabling any unncessary services on the streaming machine today to avoid any unncessary memory/CPU usage ... and will look to getting sound back on.
