I already searched the forum for this issue, and followed the directions, but have had no luck. :-p

The stream I'm trying to play is:
http://www.streamaudio.com/stations/asx/KFOG_FM.asx

If I open up the .asx file in a text editor, the URLs I get are
mms://66.28.253.171/KFOG_FM
mms://66.250.188.22/KFOG_FM

Strangely, I managed to get it to play for a very short while this morning, but it refused to pause, and after I hit "stop" it never connected again. (I did try closing/reopening QMP, and QMP is playing other files/streams just fine.) QMP gives no errors, it just sits there doing nothing when I try.

The stream *is* consistently accessible through Windows Media Player, so I know it's present. Trying to load it in Winamp 5 Full (just fyi) results in a stream sync error, so it's not just QMP.

it is most likely because it is a windows media stream (ASX is a Microsoft format) :) and I think by default it is attached to the 'Quinnware Video plugin'.

you could try adding it to the 'Quinnware windows media plugin'. perhaps that solves it... but I give no guarantees.
