<http://totalbroadcast.net/zenith/zenith128.pls> is not an address of the
stream. It's a playlist. The warning from the log confirms the type.

You need supply an address of the stream to icecast. The address can be found
in the playlist document. Look:

$ wget -q -O - http://totalbroadcast.net/zenith/zenith128.pls
[playlist]
NumberOfEntries=8
File1=http://148.163.81.10:8001/zenith128
File2=http://148.163.81.10:8001/zenith128
File3=http://148.163.81.10:8001/zenith128
File4=http://148.163.81.10:8001/zenith128
File5=http://91.189.64.188:3644/zenith128mp3
File6=http://91.189.64.188:3644/zenith128mp3
File7=http://91.189.64.188:3644/zenith128mp3
File8=http://91.189.64.188:3644/zenith128mp3

So there are exactly two unique addresses. Pick one of them for the icecast
configuration file.
