I *think* I know what you're asking for. It simply gives me http://76.86.196.84:8000/listen. When I went in and edited the stream address on the Chumby and took away the .m3u, I got audio! But wickedly choppy, ugly audio.
When it streams *nothing* it reports the listener as "Mozilla /5.0 (compatible; U, linux,Chumby" or something like that; it drops it when I hook it up in a way that works (for example, by ditching ".m3u" from the stream title). When it's *working* it reports as "Neptune/0.7.0". I've tried it as mp3, m3u, ogg and pls (just for fun, ya kna).
No combination of bitrate, frequency or CPU load makes the choppiness stop. This choppiness is nowhere evidenced when I cue it up in Quicktime (on the same machine, a brand new Mac Mini, or on my 4mo-old Macbook laptop). I've tried 8khz 8kbps mono and 192kbps 48kHz stereo; the glitches remain virtually unchanged.
Here's a start/stop as MP3 (which works) as reported by Nicecast's console:

...and here's an abort as m3u (which doesn't work) as reported by the same console:

Any thoughts? There's a number of nifty audio apps I use that I'd love to be able to throw at the Chumby and for forty bucks... dunno. I've always liked Rogue Amoeba, if only for the name. ;-)
