The www.inforadio.de is a new-style ASX playlist with extension ',wax' and content-type 'audio/x-ms-wax'. The playlist entries are themselves old-style ASX playlists (content type 'x-ms-asf') with those weird .asf entries (http://rbb-inforadio-wma-m-a.wm.llnwd.net/rbb_inforadio_wma_m_a?mswmext=.asf) where you are usually supposed to interpret them as mms:// streams (else they just link back to themselves and appear as a recursive playlist). So you end up with 'mms://rbb-inforadio-wma-m-a.wm.llnwd.net/rbb_inforadio_wma_m_a' but whilst VLC can play this stream, gstreamer cannot.
I can't imagine why they felt the need for this setup. I'm not interested in supporting stuff like this.
On a quick side note, the totem playlist handling already does this right. One of the many reasons to abandon our futile attempts to do things like this in mopidy ourselves :-)
I cannot wait. I really cannot.
Originally reported by @willwach in https://github.com/mopidy/mopidy/issues/853:
The 'Fritz vom rbb' stream is reported by mopidy-tunein as 'malformed' ASX and this error case somehow leaves the audio pipeline in a mess. Need to fix the parsing and understand how the error managed to leave such a mess behind.
