I just had a look at the ShoutCastPlugin code, and I believe I've
figured out the problem. It's not a bug in the code at all, but an error
in the API it uses to fetch the data.

It uses "http://207.200.98.1/"; as the base URI, which when viewed in a
browser describes a MySQL connection problem. All the calls to the XML
API just return "No DB!", which would fit the current error I'm getting
from Banshee:

[20 Debug 01:02:52.246] [LiveRadioBasePlugin"SHOUTcast.com"]
<RetrieveXml> Error: Text node cannot appear in this state.  Line 1,
position 1. END

I'm not familiar enough with this service to figure out what can be done
to fix this. Has it perhaps been deprecated in favor of a new API? I
found the following wiki which shows another API to this, but it
requires a developer ID.
