I did it!

I had posted a very lo-res mms:// link (see above) above that worked.

However, I just spent an hour and got the" hi-res" stream that hohead posted above, and managed to get it to work with XBMC.

Here's how:
1. Create a text file called "al-jazeera.strm" and paste this in it:

Code:
rtmp://livestfslivefs.fplive.net/livestfslive-live/ playpath=aljazeera_en_veryhigh?videoId=747084146001&lineUpId=&pubId=665003303001&playerId=751182905001&affiliateId= pageURL=http://english.aljazeera.net/watch_now/ app=aljazeeraflashlive-live?videoId=747084146001&lineUpId=&pubId=665003303001&playerId=751182905001&affiliateId= swfUrl=http://admin.brightcove.com/viewer/us1.24.04.08.2011-01-14072625/federatedVideoUI/BrightcovePlayer.swf swfVfy=true live=true

2. Save the file and put it somewhere where XBMC can see it.

3. In XBMC, go to Videos, make sure you are not in Library mode and browse to where your al-jazeera.strm file is.

4. Select it. Enjoy Al Jazeera live streaming in pretty damn nice quality!

I did this with Dharma, on a Linux box. YMMV.
