I thought I saw something similar yesterday when trying to listen to
BBC Radio 3, but today, it seems to work properly. Oddly enough, wfrg
works as well (it didn't before). I think the reason was because of
the trailing :80 on the original link mentioned in the "What Use is
Gstreamer" thread (as I couldn't make some gstreamer[1] stuff work, so
that started an off-line series of replies). But here, amarok uses
xine (observed in Settings/Configure Amarok/Engine).
Anyway, if I just paste the URL as http://streaming.wfrg.org/ into
Amarok, it'll work.
I'm on lenny as well, and amarok seems more stable than it used to be.
I used to make it crash all the time :(.

www.kpfa.org (Berkeley CA) might work - it has both 24k and 16k mp3,
as well as ogg streams.
I don't have very many radio stations preset in Amarok ;(. And most if
not all of them are high-bandwidth (> 100 kbps).

Still I haven't been able to track down the file I need, but as other
methods work, this isn't that big of a deal.
