Problems with playing a stream

[GoogleCodeExporter]

i'm having problems with playing a stream. i tried

import fly.sound.*;
var strm:MP3StreamPlayer = new MP3StreamPlayer();
strm.playStream("http://213.251.141.62:8006");

but it won't play me anything. the whole thing is installed correctly i
think. there are no compiler errors or anything. i also tried this code
which i got from here:

package
{
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.utils.ByteArray;
    import flash.media.Sound;

    import fly.sound.MP3StreamPlayer;
    import fly.sound.events.SoundBufferEvent;
    import fly.sound.events.TitleChangeEvent;

    public class StreamAudio extends Sprite
    {
        private var _mp3StreamPlayer:MP3StreamPlayer;
        private var _sound:Sound;

        public function StreamAudio()
        {
            _mp3StreamPlayer = new MP3StreamPlayer();
            _mp3StreamPlayer.addEventListener(TitleChangeEvent.TITLE_CHANGE,
_titleChangeHandler);
            _mp3StreamPlayer.addEventListener(SoundBufferEvent.BUFFER_EMPTY, _test);
            _mp3StreamPlayer.addEventListener(SoundBufferEvent.BUFFERING, _test);
            _mp3StreamPlayer.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.PROGRESS, _test);
            _mp3StreamPlayer.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,_completeHandler);
            _mp3StreamPlayer.addEventListener(SoundBufferEvent.BUFFERING, _buffering);
            _mp3StreamPlayer.playStream("http://localhost:8000");
        }

        private function _titleChangeHandler(e:TitleChangeEvent):void
        {
            trace(e.title);
        }

        private function _buffering(e:SoundBufferEvent):void
        {
            trace(e.entriesLoaded, "/", e.entriesTotal);
        }

        private function _test(e:Event):void
        {
            trace("test", e.type);
        }

        private function _completeHandler(e:Event):void
        {
            //_sound = _mp3StreamPlayer.sound;
            //_sound.play();
        }

    }

}

but it doesn't work either. how can i test the thing without making my own
shoutcast server? is there any password needed for playing shoutcast music?

all i need to do is play a shoutcast stream. can somebody help me with that?

thx in advance

Have you solved the issue?

You really need to read this: 
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer9_security_print.html

And then this: 
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/socket_policy_files.html

You won't be able to test it in browser if you do not install your own 
shoutcast server and provide a socket policy file.
