Which really sucks if you're trying to listen to streaming audio from the tab
while trying to do other work. Having to keep the tab visible is a pain.

(And yes, I know the *right* answer is to find a URI suitable to feed to amarok
or xine or something - but have you ever *looked* at the maze of indirections
and Javascript and Flash and who knows what other horrors some radio stations
go through to keep you from doing that? ;)
