Hi,

I'm using xbmc 11 on a debian system, installed from the debian-multimedia.org repository. I'd like to be able to listen to RFI Monde:
http://stream.rfi.fr/rfimonde/all/rfimonde-64k.mp3

It works without problems with mplayer, but making an strm file with the above address doesn't work in xbmc (and other strm files work). This is what I get in xbmc.log after trying to open the strm file:
01:05:46 T:3015608112 ERROR: PulseAudio: Failed to connect context
01:05:46 T:3015608112 ERROR: PulseAudio: Failed to create context
01:05:46 T:2643762032 ERROR: MP3Codec: Error reading file
01:05:46 T:2643762032 ERROR: CAudioDecoder: Error while decoding 1

A related issue is that, for me, most of the radio stations - including RFI Monde - don't work in the Radio add-on.

EDIT: the output of mplayer contains:
==========================================================================
Requested audio codec family [mpg123] (afm=mpg123) not available.
Enable it at compilation.

I have exactly the same problem with, say, Radio France Info
