There is a schedule page on the site, but this would be handy, I
agree.

Make sure, you configure a proxy, if you must do that. Also ogg
streaming was broken until foo2k 0.7. But it should work now.

No kidding, but: You could try "wget" instead. I used that yesterday,
because I wanted to grab the concert to a file as well. Just wget the
URL and listen to the constantly growing ogg file.

You also can input the ogg stream URl directly into xmms or
alsaplayer. With alsaplayer this is a bit strange, because you need to
copy the URL to the File->Open dialog instead of a file. If it starts
with "http://..." it will stream instead of looking for a file. Last
but not least ogg123 should support streaming, too.

ciao
