Amazon Streaming is broken and installing hal fixes it according to the following thread:

The following thread provides a few links to this file but they no longer work, and I tried downloading hal-0.5.14-gentoo-patches-4.tar.bz2, extracting, adding the missing file as indicated, and recreating the bz2 tar archive, but there is a checksum failure with that file: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-906838-start-0.html Does anyone have advice for navigating this? - Grant
