It's better to say what error you get rather than ask how you fix the problem you assume you might be having. You need gstreamer and it's plugins when you use an app that uses gstreamer to play media. The thing you use might not use gstreamer. Having said that, the site you mention does not appear to work. I get "server down" errors on just about every play link. Maybe the station is barfed? -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
