It's working fine for me. using Mythbuntu 12.04 with MythTV .26 w/fixes. I
remember reading that the radio stream interface is theme dependent or some
themes just don't support it yet. Try MythCenter theme. Also in the
frontend setup page /music setting/general settings, audio device is set to
default.

Hope it helps.

What is the deal with this addon?  I like the concept and even considered
