I think I'm experiencing an identical issue: Banshee retrieves playing stream's metadata OK, but fails to play media - constantly flicks buffer to 0.0%. This stream works well/great in other clients, such as VLC & Chromium browser (on multiple OS's)
Client: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS x86_64 3.2.0-27-generic banshee 2.4.1-3ubuntu1~precise2 banshee-extension-liveradio 2.4.0-1ubuntu1 "Open Location" is a bust (same results), so created radio stations. I've set up MPD in a VM & pushing out the audio streams via HTTP as documented: http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Configuration#Built-in_HTTP_streaming CLI debug (https://live.gnome.org/Banshee/CommonQuestions/Logs) not much help.
