The CBS Stream doesn’t offer mobile streams. In order to access desktop streams, you to install python-librtmp[1]. Unfortunately, this is not yet packaged for Debian, so you’ll have to manually install it in the meantime.
I’m not sure why livestreamer doesn’t give you the correct hint. For me, it specifically tells me that it requires python-librtmp to access the desktop streams (see [2]).
