According to the little red 'error' icon that shows up when I try to
play it it says:

"Cannot open source for reading"

When I look at the .pls file and attempt to go to one of their feeds (
http://64.236.34.97:5190/stream/1007 ) directly, it gives me a 404.

That error leads me to believe they are blocking streaming from
unknown user agents (such as firefox, because streaming within it
would be.. useless?)

My guess is they're not allowing streaming to the gstreamer user
agent, which is "gnome-vfs/2.12.1 neon/0.24.7" for gstreamer0.8
(breezy) and "gnome-vfs/2.13.4 neon/0.25.4" for gstreamer 0.10
(dapper)

So, I don't think it's rhythmbox directly.  It also doesn't work on my
breezy box using totem/rhythmbox (gstreamer 0.8).
