On my machine, the server returns different data for Rhythmbox or Totem than it does for VLC. First it returns an ASF playlist (identical for all players) which points to two other ASF URIs. If VLC tries to access those URIs, the server returns the correct data and the stream starts playing. If I access with Totem/Rhythmbox/wget/my browser, it returns the first ASF playlist again. That causes totem-plparser (which Totem and Rhythmbox use to parse ASF playlists) to detect a recursive loop, and abort playlist. Assuming that the same happens for other people, the problem is that the server is trying to be "smart" and breaking it for clients it doesn't know about.
