I see that chickenwings has a tray button configured in ~/.jwmrc that displays PLY on the lower right and when clicked, it starts playstream which in turn starts a stream and displays an on screen message Buffering http://voxsc1.somafm.com:8880.
I see that ~/.playstream file which has the stream address in it. Not sure how to enable the on screen display BUFFERING message. Is it a library that needs to be added that enables the on screen display since I tried adding it to the academy build after installing the jwm window manager. I did notice that adding xosd-bin did enable the SYS osd from the jwm tray button.

Re: Chickenwings shows assorted OSD messages (Solved)
OK got it playstream is a script and not compiled code. Both PLY and SYS from the tray buttons use osd_cat with displays messages to the x display.
Turns out the line to echo the buffering site was remarked out. Also did some research on making the font larger. Academy was missing a couple things:
then from this post http://linuxbbq.org/bbs/viewtopic.php?f ... nts#p36883
Then restart X (I used Ctrl-Alt-Backspace)

Oh I don't mind them so much when I don't grow any new grey hairs haha.
BTW osd_cat is pretty cool how it is a timed on screen display which you can scrape and paste any kind of data you want on the X desktop
