You may have to patch the menu xml files as per the INSTALL instructions
for MythStream as its not an 'official' plugin - when you do that it will
appear in the Music submenu.

If you have it already packaged, I'm not sure how you find out what
version you have. The latest - 0.17_2 - has lots of extra features like
creating your own station lists with interactive menus (the shoutcast and
bbc selections are good examples).
