Excellent! I've used their mp3 stream for a while, but had not seen the vorbis 
stream until you mentioned it here. Really the only radio station I'll 
willingly listen to in the Bay Area. Glad to have it :) You might also 
consider posting to the BALUG list?

Cheers

PS: maybe 22kHz would sound better?
