Hello, Everyone :)
Because I wanted to try to help the person that started this thread, I
tried the above quoted advice, and I am listening to the stream that the
original poster had wanted to listen to.  I must say, I really like it
:)
But anyway, I am running XMMS from the official XMMS tarball.  Other
than that, I am running Fedora Core 2, all offical updates installed. 
Also, I installed EVERY package when I installed.
I wish I could help the original poster, but all I can say is don't give
up!  I am listening to the stream that you wanted to listen to :)

Message to the original poster:
This is what I did to get the stream you wanted running:

1. Opened up xmms
2. Make sure that the playlist is open.
3. At the bottom of the playlist is a button that looks something like
this:
"  +
  file"
Click on that, and move your cursor till it highlights:
" +
 URL" and release your mouse button.
4. A box will pop up that has the title: "Enter URL to add:" at the top.
 Paste the following in that box:
http://205.188.234.65:8026
5. Click "Ok"

A line like this then appeared in my playlist:
"1. SALSASTREAM.COM - Best Salsa Collection in t..."
I double clicked on that line, and I've been listening to salsa ever
since.  I must say that I'm looking forward to listening to it when my
wife wakes up, since I figured out real quick that Salsa must sound real
good at a healthy volume :)

I hope this helped :)
