Winamp and RealPlayer do indeed work with a number of the streams I
like, mostly classical music. Although Winamp does not appear in the
list of plugins with either [Help > About Plugins] or [Tools > Add-ons
Manager > Plugins], I can select a link to a stream and receive the
broadcast.
However, I am having trouble with some live streaming broadcasts. The
affected (and afflicted) links end with the extension .pls (e.g.,
listen.pls, mp3.pls). When I select a .pls link, I get an error popup
that says:
C:\Users\David\AppData\Local\Temp\listen-7.pls could not be opened,
because the associated helper application does not exist. Change the
association in your preferences.
The "listen-7.pls" might instead be "mp3-5.pls" for a mp3.pls link.
When I go to [Edit > Preferences > Browser > Helper Applications], I
cannot find an entry for .pls. I do find an entry for MIME type
audio/x-scpls but not audio/pls, neither of which are registered with
the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (IANA).
How do I create a new Helper Application entry for .pls files?
It would help if you gave an example url, but try saving the .pls file
& then opening in windows explorer by right clicking on the file &
selecting open or open with. Windows should come back with some error
about not knowing how to open the file and then let you choose a
program to use for opening the file. Choose winamp, realplayer or
whatever you think might work and then try your website with the live
streaming broadcasts again.

I tried Open With with each of RealPlayer, Winamp, and VLC. None of
that worked to enable playing the streams from links in a Web page.
However, the Open With launch whatever application I indicated and
played the streaming broadcast from just the downloaded fragment of a
file.
Here are two links:
<http://69.12.217.101:8000/listen.pls> -- KCEA, 89.1 FM, Atherton, CA
<http://playerservices.streamtheworld.com/pls/KMZTFM.pls> -- KMZT, 1620
AM, Los Angeles, CA
When clicking on the link I open my download manger and asks what to
open with, I choose VLC ver. 2.1.0 and it begins-- has been playing 30
mins now.
Mine also plays well with VLC 2.0.6
