Here's what I got:

http://4293.live.streamtheworld.com:443/WMALAMAACCMP3
etc..

These will open on the Kindle.
Getting a bit off topic here with this tough...
I am not surprised that the contents of the playlist will open on the kindle. The problem is that from what I have seen these are generated dynamically and thus it isn't safe to assume that a stream that worked yesterday will work today or tomorrow. So as best I can tell I have to use the URL to the playlist to be sure of the stream working.

You are correct about this getting off-topic. I have posted about this in the mplayer thread, but nobody has picked up the ball over there yet.

As I noted in an earlier message, this should be workable provided I change the control.sh script to obtain the playlist and then start playing it. If anyone can tell me if wget is available in the kindle or what tool is available to download the internet file that would help.

I have yet to jailbreak my kindle. Is the v0.5.N version the one to go with at this point?
