Sprint has disabled online radio streaming on their Android devices. Up to now that includes the HTC EVO and Samsung Transform.
This issue is seen on other streaming applications too. Note that AAC/AAC+ streams are not affected and can play normally without any issues. In order to stream MP3 streams you need to be connected to WIFI.
WORKING FIXES!
FIX #1: (tip sent by Keith)
Contact Sprint they will be able to send the phone a prl update which removes the proxy server changes made by previous OTA. Make sure to call from a different phone so the update gets sent properly.
FIX #2: (sent by Arturo)
1. Go to phone dial and type ##3282#
"there is no need to push call button after. If that did nothing restart your phone and try again"
2. Choose edit mode
3. Put in password.
"You can get the password by calling Sprint and asking for MSL code, or password for ##3282#, they should give it to you."
4. Choose Advanced
5. Change HTTP PD Proxy Port to: 0
6. Change HTTP PD Proxy Address to: 0.0.0.0

**Sprint is aware of the mess up...
We currently have something working but it's very very beta... Hopefully we can release beta support at ends of January. Hopefully sooner. Do you happen to have an RTSP url we can use for testing?
Update 05/18/11:
v2.1.8 now supports mms and mmsh. Not sure if RTSP... you could give it a try.
I definitely think you should be able to lock the screen and listen to music without any problems.
Getting back to this.. Have reproduced the issue on other Android versions too. Thanks for the detailed feedback. This should be resolved on the upcoming update!
Update 05/18/11:
Fixed on v2.1.8
Please let me know if you are still having issues...
Could you let us know if this issue is resolved in version 2.1.7?
Thanks for your feedback, I'll look into this.
Update 05/16/11:
Please check with the latest update v2.1.8. We have added a new power managing flag that hopefully resolves this issue.
Update 05/18/11:
There have been a few improvements in this area which I'm hoping will resolve this issue on update v2.1.9 coming next week.

Verizon and Sprint are both CDMA. Texting falls under the category of voice and not data.
