That URL is for an alternative MP3 streams.  The Streamtheworldprotocol
is an exchange of HTTP request.  It's been a while since I looked at in
details but the gist of it  is as follows:

1. Make request to cbsplayer.streamtheworld.com for KROQ
2. Respose is a key
3. Send Key to provisioning.streamworld.com
4. Response is a port no which is only valid if used within about 1
minutes
5. Start play the stream using the given port and the
provisioning.streamtheworld.com

I think the stream is usually plain AACplus or MP3 but I can't be sure.
Because of the interaction you need a plugin to handle the exchange
before mplayer can be started.
