More information...
The address is rtmp://cp80923.live.edgefcs.net/live/ashe_high@13675. It's the official stream for the main court of the US Open. (I live in the US, so I'm not doing anything illegal...I think) The Flash player doesn't work on my computer, but I managed to use the Firefox extension "Firebug" to dig up the URL. The messages look like this...

To me, it looks like everything's okay (no big red warnings)...but then it just sits there. Nothing happens.
EDIT: Behaviour also confirmed under Windows. VLC bug?
