How to play a .flv stream?

[3DPiper]

I have a link to streaming audio that ends with .flv
When I click the link, I get the option to open or save it.
But if I select 'open', it doesn't start streaming, it starts caching and never actually starts playing.
I have done this with other sites that have podcasts, and when I 'open' the link it immediately starts playing.
How can I make the .flv stream play?

I believe VLC supports the flv format. There's also an flv player in the store but it costs money.
