Plays OK for me.  Bring up the play list, click "Add->Radio Stream",
enter the URL.  The right click on the new radio stream, and do
"Load".  That should give you a "from live.str3am.com/"  in the play
list, click on it and hit play.

I recommend the use of the xine engine in amarok.  There are no real
plugins to speak of that you need, although I do have the following
use flags:
