I am no expert. The stream is playing, so provided you do indeed have the right URL I guess you must be getting the full 800Kb/s and VLC is misreporting. It must be a different version of VLC to that used on the current Intel Macs. Surely if your internet connection was not fast enough you would get dropouts?
The FLAC stream is here
http://radio.cesnet.cz:8000/cro-d-dur.flac
and should be about 800Kb/s
The OGG stream is here
http://www.rozhlas.cz/audio/download/ddur_maxogg.m3u
at about 200Kb/s
Both are excellent. How you would play OGG (other than VLC) on your Mac G4 I don't know.
Songbird will play OGG
Is there aversion of Mozilla Songbird complied for Mac G4?
I can only see a version for Intel Mac
