I've been looking into doing the same thing to listen to the radio
stations provided by my cable company.

There's a vlc plugin available at
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=189342&package_id=258357.
Beta5 works with the latest firmware on my Solo.  I have the plugin
running on linux and windows.

Vlc can be setup to redistribute the stream which you can then connect
to it from SC using the tune-in feature.  There are many sites that
describe this in great detail.

Unfortunately, it's a very messy solution, and changing the channel in
vlc requires going into the setup for the plugin.

I've been thinking of creating a plugin to stream only audio directly
from the slingbox, and with the code available for the vlc pluging it
shouldn't be too hard, slingplayer currently has an option for
audio-only, so the option is there on the slingbox.  The player might
just drop the video frames from the stream, not sure yet.  Still
researching options.
