Well...  for fun I tried disabling the plugin's title processing (which
uses those web sites) to see if the player would pick up the title
info...  It didn't work :(

I posted a message to the developers forum to find out if I need to do
anything "special" to pull the info from the stream.  Unfortunately I
didn't receive any replies (yet).  I wouldn't think I'd have to do
anything special, but I dunno for sure.

I also tried manually streaming the URL given to SlimServer by the
plugin into Windows Media player via "open url".  If you do it quick
enough (the stream URLs are only good for a minute or so) you can get
the stream to play, but no title info is shown in Windows Media
player.

I'm not an expert on internet streaming, but to me this would seem to
indicate that the title info isn't being passed in the stream. 
However, the title info does appear when you listen to the stream
online via Sirius's website.  Maybe the title info is being displayed
via some clever HTML/Javascript?  Anyone wanna volunteer to investigate
this (I hate Javascript!).
