[Bug 83074] amarok can't play last.fm, some radio streams (feisty)

[jaiwithani]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: amarok

amarok 1.4.4 on kde 3.5.6; Kubuntu Feisty Herd 3
When attempting to play a last.fm stream, amarok gives:
Error Loading Media
No suitable input plugin. This often means that the url's protocol is not supported. Network failures are other possible causes.
http://localhost:43418/lastfm.mp3

Last.fm is reporting no problems, and using their player yields no
issues. Last.fm support on amarok was fine until  February 2, 2007.

Additionally, only some of the "cool streams" stations will play successfully. Examples:
-XTC: succeeds
-Virgin Radio: succeeds
-SLAY radio*: Error Loading Media No suitable demux plugin. This often means that the file format is not supported. http://relay.slayradio.org:8000/
-Secret Agent: Works, but occasionally throws an error (and works anyway)
-Raggakings: No suitable demux plugin...
-Radio Paradise: Works, but throws 10 identical items into amarok's playlist.
-Radio.BMJ.net: No suitable input plugin. This often means that the url's protocol is not supported...
-Pure DJ: succeeds, but puts three identical items into amarok's playlist.
-Proton House: succeeds, but throws 9 identical items into amarok's playlist
-Philosomatika: succeeds, 4 identical items in amarok's playlist
...
