Dashcode's Podcast template uses the QuickTime plug-in to playback
audio files. At this time, the QuickTime plug-in doesn't support
playback of streaming MP3 (a.k.a. Icecast, Shoutcast). This means
that the plug-in doesn't accept files with a .pls extension and can't
handle the icy protocol.
At this time, I don't know of any workarounds for this particular
issue, but please file a bug on QuickTime via <http://
bugreport.apple.com/> . Thanks!
