oh right, sorry about that, in the open location field you have to put
in the real URL and not the m3u or pls file. So just download the pls
file and then when you open it up you should see an url of the form:
http://www.something.com/song.mp3
Just enter that into xmms and it should work fine.
I can confirm that this works this way with the streams on:
