This version has very simple support for PLS, ASX and M3U playlists. I 
still haven't been able to find any playlist style streams that start 
with an advertisement, so to keep things simple, I have made the 
assumption that the first stream we connect to in the playlist is going 
to be the radio stream, and all of the other entries are no longer 
needed. If anyone can produce a counter-example, I'd be glad to change 
this assumption.

Here are some decent streams to test with:

- http://asx.abacast.com/cbc-r1toronto-96.pls
- http://radio3.cbc.ca/nmcradio/webradio.m3u
- http://top100station.de/switch/r3472.asx

Just a heads up that Chronix radio ASX files are not valid XML, so they 
wont work.  I've already contacted them about it.

Support for stream metadata is my next objective!

Cheers, and TIA. As always, I'm looking for testing or general feedback!
