In general, I was responding to the issue of downloaded multimedia files. Now, streaming media is something different. There is some sort of interaction between the media and the player. In many cases, this interaction is used to prevent the media being stored as a playable file. So, depending on the actual coding of the player, it is remotely possible that a stream might be generated that would exploit a vulnerability in the player and thus run malicious code. I don't actually know if this has happened or not...but I would certainly think Internet radio and shoutcast would be quite safe. I stream Internet radio all the time and have never had any problems, FWIW.
