When playing an Octoshape channel that is encoded in the Microsoft ASF format, the plug-in will play the stream using a player that can handle this format, otherwise it will play the stream using Apple iTunes. Currently Octoshape is streaming several mp3 channels, which will all play in Apple iTunes.
