Think of the .pls as a web page that contains some links.
The contents of it can be changed by the streaming provider for various
reasons (e.g. perhaps one server is heavily loaded so they want to
direct the next listener to a different one) - but if you always start
from there then you get the up-to-date links that are in it.
LMS (and other players) knows how to parse the returned contents of the
.pls - but if you ask the player what it is playing it will usually show
you the discovered stream URL that was inside the .pls
