QuickTime Player and its browser plug-in can already play .m3u files (playlists).
You may need to enable it by using the QuickTime System Preferences/Advanced tab / MIME Settings button and checking the box under MP3 Playlist.

http://145.103.250.232:8000/listen.m3u
An example.

Sorry.
I couldn't even get the server to open a Web page:
http://mafreebox.freebox.fr/
An edit of the MIME Settings would require a quit and relaunch of your browser before the changes could be used.

ok, i closed the app and relaunch it. i try to open it i've got an alert box message explaining me that some quicktime software are needed to open the stream and that they are maybe on
the component page of apple site. But i don't see anything about m3u on this page

It sounds like the Web Site was written for Windows machines.
.m3u should be just MPEG 1 Layer 3 (.mp3) formats. You say these also include "video"?
That may be the reason for the "missing component" message from QuickTime.
Do you have any other URL I could test?
