I don't know why I had problems getting them before. On my old desktop machine I would download packages mostly from those repos or use sid packages, and they would exist as a kind of island that never got touched by upgrades, unless I manually retrieved new packages. But now I got them to download without using dodgy third-party repos, great! Except ... like I said ... nothing is ever perfect. I use qmmp to listen to online radio a lot; audacious and others don't work so well for my purposes. But so I got qmmp working, select a station, hit play, and it buffers all the way up to 100%, then just mysteriously dies. Doesn't matter what station. Also I have tried using it over proxy, and with direct connection, but it's the same result. I would like to get this working in the next hour or so, as there are some online shows that I listen to.
