m3u streams typically contain links to mp3 files, but not always. There
might be a problem connecting to those particular sites, for instance -
verify first if xmms has trouble playing local mp3 files. I'm skeptical
if it's an ogg vs. mp3 problem.
Also try saving the playlist to a file and use variants of
$ mplayer -playlist file.m3u
to see if it's an xmms issue or a real issue connecting to the site(s)
that offer mp3 content.
