There is currently a "bug" in Windows Media
Player for OSX that forces Windows Media Player to default
to the lowest bitrate stream
(i.e., 56k) irrespective of your connection bandwidth.
This issue will likely be fixed in the next Windows Media
Update. We will be separating the streams after the webcast.
