What it means is the books on podcasting already in the channels aren't meeting sales projections which means taking a risk on a book with a smaller market doesn't make any sense from the publishers financial investment perspective. It doesn't mean there's not a market for it, but it does mean there's limited interest in the topic in traditional channels. One approach you could take is to contact the people at a company like No Starch, which tends to take risks on books with cult followings and more niche topics. The advantage to that route is getting access to the traditional retail channels (through O'Reilly, ironically) and if negotiated correctly, you could easily retain the electronic distribution rights.
