it's a big shame.
That's the point of this beta, discovering the things that we missed. internet radio's biggest player so far is shoutcast.com, from Winamp, as as such provide streams in a m3u or pls formats. Now we know that people (such as bbc) are providing streams as asx and other kinds of xml, then we have to add support.
