Sky.fm live stream with HTML5 audio

Question

http://u10.sky.fm/ displays the audio URLs and types. It is powered by www.icecast.org.

I have the following code snippets HTML5

<audio controls="controls" autoplay="autoplay">
  <source src="http://u10.sky.fm/altrock" type="audio/mpeg" />
</audio>

Unfortunately, it does not work. I am using Chrome. What did I do wrong?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help.

EDIT: Updated code below still does not work.

<audio controls="controls" autoplay="autoplay">
  <source src="http://u10.sky.fm:80/sky_altrock" />
</audio>

Thanks for your help. I downloaded the m3u file and use http://u10.sky.fm:80/sky_altrock. Unfortunately, it still does not work. – pion Jan 17 '11 at 07:06
sorry, I really thought that would fix it. the html5 code looks good. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2229118/is-it-possible-to-play-shoutcast-internet-radio-streams-with-html5 is a discussion on live streams. – Shaggieh Jan 17 '11 at 08:03
No problem. Thanks for your help. I tried it on Firefox Minefield. It does not work. http://www.jplayer.org/latest/developer-guide/#reference-html5-audio says that audio stream fails on Chrome. – pion Jan 17 '11 at 14:54
I have just reported the issue to the Chrome team. Please see http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=69878 – pion Jan 17 '11 at 15:25

Have you tried adding semicolen at the end of stream url to make the shoutcast play in html5 player:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<audio controls src="http://baldyradio.com:8010/;"></audio>

And , i noticed the stream url you mentioned is not working now. try some good stream url.
