Yep, we play the audio through a Phonon backend. On Mac and Windows that is VLC and on Linux, it's whichever one you have installed to use; gstreamer, etc.
I doesn't look like we can set the proxy that the Phonon backend will use through the Phonon API, but I expect the backends should respect the http_proxy environment variable. You can try setting that and seeing if it helps. I should look at setting that environment variable within the app somehow.
Cheers @eartle, setting the global proxy setting didn't seem to cut it unfortunately so I'll try tsocks'ing it.
Last.fm Client v2.1.33 from the apt repo on Ubuntu 12.10.
Using a SOCKS5 proxy with host and port set (and working with other apps) I click
Radio
tab,My Mix
Radio and the player loads with all the information (artist image/bio etc.) however the track doesn't load, instead it appears to wait a few seconds and skip to the next track.Not too sure on how the app works but if it's a separate entity playing the stream are the proxy settings being parsed onto it?
