Is there a firewall between you and your server?

You need token support for this. At the moment no one has written token
support for either the in memory dispatch or the playlist dispatch. It
would be very easy to write a token handler for the playlist dispatch.

xmms is a pretty good player. You might recompile with debug enabled and
start Apache up with httpd -X and see if your music is being parsed
correctly.

Also, look at the select op (if you compiled it in) and you should be
able to get an idea if your music is being parsed correctly.
