Thanks for following up.

I have a Live! Value, and it doesn't give me that option, but if I record
the master volume, it works! Is there any reason not to do it off the 
master volume (assuming other sound sources aren't playing at the same time)?

I just right-clicked the link, chose "Open with..." and typed xmms. I
have to do that every time, which is a pain in the ass, but I don't
switch stations often, so all I have to do is open xmms and double-click
it in the play list.

As long as the site allows you to connect twice, who cares? ;-)
