The picture is one of mixed success: If I try to play BBC World Radio in 
Firefox or Arora I get the above error and nothing but silence. The 
media selector also claims I have Realplayer but not Windows Media 
installed.

If I try Konqueror I get "sent off" to Kaffeine and there it works.

If I instead try Swedish Radio on www.sr.se all works as expected and 
both formats are reported as existing...

I still don't get what happened to Amarok and "add URL" as absolutely 
nothing happens if I try to "add stream" in Amarok.
