So far it just seems to work only with youtube. Since it is a command
line tool, it doesn't matter how you get the url of the video, even lynx
would do. just "sudo apt-get install clive" as it's in the repos. You're
gonna love it. I've tried other methods and have gotten static fulled
audio. clive gets it correctly every time. Just copy the url of the
video and paste it into the command line sudo clive "paste-url-here"
using the quote marks. It'll fire up and you'll see it work. Do not be
running another video from youtube, within your browser, at the same
time, that buggers it up.  :) Ric
