title: Streaming video & audio in Windows Phone 7
body: <p>I have an ASX stream that I would like to play on my Windows Phone 7.  <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/windowsphone7series/thread/a6c5abea-c4bc-4f25-b747-2eae129570f5" rel="nofollow">It appears</a> that WP7 <a href="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/windowsphone7series/thread/349d2b86-fe1d-444d-951c-c76761cd5c9c" rel="nofollow">cannot handle</a> client-side playlists, like an ASX file.  So what do I do now?</p>
  
  <p>When I break into the ASX file, I see it's actually a <code>mms://</code> stream with no file extension, so I can't even point to the raw file.</p>
  
  <p>How do I proceed from here?  Is there a better option than the <code>MediaElement</code> control that will handle ASX files?</p>
  
  <p>More Info:<br>
  My stream in question is audio/video, with WMA2/WVC1 encoding, respectively, running at 640x360.  So according to the <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff462087%28VS.92%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">supported filetypes</a>, the <code>MediaElement</code> control should be able to handle it no problem.</p>
