Have you tried installing the codecs via Packman?
http://packman.links2linux.org/

More specifically:
http://packman.links2linux.org/?action=046

They have rpms there that you can download for SuSE-9.3, 9.2, 9.1, and 9.0. They also have an improved mplayer for downloading (mplayer usually works with mms:// links).

I think mplayer only works with embedded video i believe. MMS is more like...when you click on it it opens up the player on the desktop rather then right in the website (can't really explain >.<). I'm also wondering how to get this to work cause i wanted to listen to a internet radio station.

Does:
mplayer -dumpstream mms://type.your.link.here
work?

well i tried it on the one i was trying to get to work, but i found out the person had his comp screwed up so i couldn't use that mms. I'm trying to look for some random mms, but i can't seem to find any :/

I'm pretty certain it works, at least it works for some mms. My wife regularly uses it to capture talk-show clips from an Internet radio station.
