Thanks for this.  It's missing the DEBUG lines so we'll need to see
those to figure out exactly what the issue is.  I can see this one:

16:49:51 ERROR: ../src/xmms/xform.c:1341: Couldn't set up chain for 'http:/=
/icecast-beta.timlradio.co.uk/absoluteclassicrock.ogg' (5)

Which tells us that XMMS2 decided that it couldn't play the URL, but
without the DEBUG lines leading up to that, we can't tell why it
reached that decision.

This is fine.  By default there are no programs that run on xmms2
startup, but you can add them here if you want to.

Likewise unless you've added some scripts you want to run when xmms2d
exits, this will be empty/missing as well.

Should be fine if you don't use coverart.

Doesn't look like there's anything wrong with your installation, but if
you do compile from source maybe that's where you enable the DEBUG log
lines - it's been so long I can't recall how you activate them!  They
just appear for me when I run "xmms2d -v" on the console.

strace in this case isn't so useful for me because the problem is not
with missing files but rather some logic internal to XMMS2 that causes
it to decide that it can't play the URL you've given.

Cheers,
Adam.
