I have the good, bad and ugly installed (with dependencies)-- still no
go.  Tried http://www.cbc.ca/livemedia/cbcr1-ottawa.asx -- no go.

I am now getting the warning "requires plugin: Windows Media Audio 8
decoder".   

What is really frustrating is when I originally opened Rhythmbox there
were a list of FM stations available -- including the CBC.  Therefore,
somehow, the CBC FM stations are playable on Linux and through Rhythmbox
without additional downloads.  I have been listening to CBC1 and CBC2
for over a week.

I deleted the entire original play list by mistake and am unable to
retrieve it.  I just wanted the CBC from that list anyways.

I got NPR working by being directed to the shoutcast-playlist.pls site.
I futzed about and got it working (not sure EXACTLY what I did) in
Rhythmbox.

The Listen using the NPR Media Player (requires Adobe Flash) link works,
opening a special window in FireFox but won't play now in Rhythmbox.  I
can re-futz if I know I have something like the CBC working.

Why everything should suddenly quit is beyond me!
