Is there a simple streaming audio (.pls) player?

I've been a huge fan of cplay for a couple years - I use it to queue
and play mp3 files.  It uses mpg321 behind a Python script and text
user interface - it handles oggs and other formats as well.  I was
pleased to find that they've recently added the ability to handle mp3
streams (I don't know what the player is), although it won't accept
.pls files - you have to fetch the pls with something like curl and
then give it the actual address and port.  This could be done with a
simple script.

Sorry, no URL - it may even currently be homeless, although
development seems to continue.  I usually fetch .deb files from a
repository.
