Not likely, since like pretty much everyone these days, they're using an embedded flash-based player. The page itself is just a loader for the player object(s). The information necessary for accessing the actual data stream is built into the player, inaccessible to the user.
Which is of course one of the main reasons why players like this have become so common.
I had a similar thread a while back and was suggested to use gnash and swfdec. Installing them manually was a pain in the ASS. But on CentOS/fedora you can install using yum. Look through debians package manager and see if you can install them.
Im at work and cant test it but after you install gnash and swfdec run it like this from a command line:
you can find that link when you click on right click in the window VIEW PAGE INFO click on media and any of the links that have EMBED you can try. not sure which one work.

I thought about that and I've already tried it using gnash. The main problem seems to be that this page loads a collection of separate objects rather than a single player. I tried playing each of the various swf elements on the page, and while gnash could display them, the stream wouldn't play, nor could I figure out how to integrate them together so that they functioned as a single player like they do on the page.
Maybe there's some way to do it, but I couldn't figure it out.
