Station streams using .m3u8 are not handled correctly

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Stream a station with only a .m3u8 stream. (ex. WRVO)
2. The preroll plays, but then the live stream does not.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The extended .m3u file is a playlist. Usually, the list only has one or two 
items for station streams. The app should play the preroll and then advance to 
the live stream.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
1.3 on moto droid running android 2.1

Please provide any additional information below.
Here is an example file: http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/wrvo/ppr/wrvo.m3u

I believe this is also effecting .pls files and anything which does not contain 
an actual mp3 file. These 'playlists' are just pointer files which say, first 
go get this mp3, then this one. That is about it. But many of our member 
stations streams don't work if they attempt to preroll without customizing the 
shoutcast server first.

I found this open source code for a shoutcast streaming player on android:

Think this might have the answer for how to solve this problem?

We have the capability to play additional tracks in a playlist. Now that we 
have this example, I think I can provide a fix.
