Looking at the debug log from both rhythmbox and my test code, I can confirm this. Note that if I change the server and podcast XML to port 80 this test works fine.
When I add the podcast URL, rbox debug output clearly references 8080 (10:06:42) [0x2655ca0] [rb_uri_could_be_podcast] rb-file-helpers.c:596: 'http://localhost:8080/test_podcast_feed.xml' should be Podcast file, HACK (10:06:42) [0x2655ca0] [rb_podcast_parse_load_feed] rb-podcast-parse.c:168: not checking mime type for http://localhost:8080/test_podcast_feed.xml (should be Podcast file) (10:06:42) [0x2655ca0] [rb_podcast_parse_load_feed] rb-podcast-parse.c:241: Parsing http://localhost:8080/test_podcast_feed.xml as a Podcast succeeded My test server confirms it receives a request for the XML 10:06:42.715 DEBUG test_rbox:190 - Podcast XML file requested 10:06:42.720 DEBUG test_rbox:223 - Host: localhost:8080 When I select the TRACK to be played rbox debug clearly is NO LONGER searching for port 80: (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_entry_view_row_activated_cb] rb-entry-view.c:2139: row activated (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_entry_view_row_activated_cb] rb-entry-view.c:2143: emitting entry activated (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [episode_entry_activated_cb] rb-podcast-add-dialog.c:633: search result podcast entry http://localhost/001.mp3 activated (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [load_uri_finish] rb-shell.c:2896: found an entry to play (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_shell_player_stop] rb-shell-player.c:2124: stopping (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_shell_player_set_playing_source_internal] rb-shell-player.c:2060: setting playing source to (nil) (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_shell_player_sync_with_source] rb-shell-player.c:1887: playing source: (nil), active entry: (nil) (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_shell_set_window_title] rb-shell.c:2397: clearing title (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_shell_player_sync_buttons] rb-shell-player.c:1979: syncing with source 0x1028630 (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_shell_playing_source_changed_cb] rb-shell.c:2240: playing source changed (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_shell_player_sync_with_source] rb-shell-player.c:1887: playing source: (nil), active entry: (nil) (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_shell_set_window_title] rb-shell.c:2397: clearing title (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_shell_player_sync_buttons] rb-shell-player.c:1979: syncing with source 0x1028630 (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_shell_player_set_playing_source_internal] rb-shell-player.c:2060: setting playing source to 0x1028630 (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_shell_player_sync_with_source] rb-shell-player.c:1887: playing source: 0x1028630, active entry: (nil) (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_shell_set_window_title] rb-shell.c:2397: clearing title (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_shell_player_sync_buttons] rb-shell-player.c:1979: syncing with source 0x1028630 (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_shell_playing_source_changed_cb] rb-shell.c:2240: playing source changed (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rebuild_menu] rb-display-page-menu.c:211: building menu, 0 => 0 items (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_player_gst_try_audio_sink] rb-player-gst-helper.c:101: audio sink autoaudiosink changed to READY state successfully (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [construct_pipeline] rb-player-gst.c:738: pipeline construction complete (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [impl_open] rb-player-gst.c:796: setting new uri to http://localhost/001.mp3 (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [impl_play] rb-player-gst.c:868: not in transition, stopping current track to start the new one (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [start_state_change] rb-player-gst.c:381: changing state to READY (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [start_state_change] rb-player-gst.c:385: state change succeeded synchronously (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [state_change_finished] rb-player-gst.c:410: setting new playback URI http://localhost/001.mp3 (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [start_state_change] rb-player-gst.c:381: changing state to PLAYING (10:10:04) [0xd296a0] [rb_shell_player_set_playing_entry] rb-shell-player.c:885: Success!

Other feeds work fine. I guess this is due to the Überklang-Podcast using Port 8000: All mp3 urls are like "http://listening.at:8000/ueberklang/ueber060708.mp3";, with only the last part (numbers, for the release date) changing. I can download all episodes from this feed using Miro, so it's a Rhythmbox issue.
