Sure you can with mplayer. I actually play WM files using the following at a shell prompt:

mplayer -vo null -cache 256 -playlist [URL of Stream]

Yes, it's not the cleanest method, but it works. Now I will say that sometimes it looks like mplayer isn't doing anything and if I hit enter on the virtual keyboard mplayer stops the process but doesn't kill it in which case i then need to type "fg" and then it streams and plays.
