Try and parse the m3u8 file and get the actual URL to the resource and then pass that URL to AudioStreamer.

Here you can find M3U8Parser lib that parse the playlist.

Below is an example of m3u8 format:

#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-TARGETDURATION:10

#EXT-X-MEDIA-SEQUENCE:1

#EXTINF:10,

#EXTINF:10,
http://video.example.com/segment1.ts
#EXTINF:10,
http://video.example.com/segment2.ts
#EXT-X-ENDLIST
