I don't know if you have this option, but try adding 'NoCache="TRUE"' in
the embed statement.


<embed type="application/x-mplayer2"
src="http://scfire-nyk0l-1.stream.aol.com:80/stream/1048"
name="Player1" ID="Player1"
NoCache="true"
AutoStart="true"
BufferingTime="5"
Showcontrols="true" ShowStatusBar="true"
enablejavascript="true">
</embed>

That seems to allow it to work for me.

You don't say what version of mplayerplug-in you are using, but the
current one 3.40 has a fallback for ICY streams, perhaps it is not
working correctly. I'll look at it later this week.
