Hi,

I am trying to make xmms play streams from websites and cannot get mp3
streams to work. From this page:
http://dir.xiph.org/index.php

I have tried Ogg streams on xmms and they work. The MP3 ones do not.
While trying to play an MP3 stream (.m3u file?), xmms reports "Couldn't
connect to host: <URL>:<port>".

Any idea how to fix it?

Running Debian Testing on a PIV, 2.6.11-1-686 kernel.

thanks,
->HS
