Bug Description

Some RSS sites use redirects for tracking and analytics. For example all the podcasts here use it:
http://feeds2.feedburner.com/AllJupiterVideos

If you play any of these videos vocal will crash with a segfault.
I have created a fix that will use the correct URL and prevent a segfault from happening regardless.

It turns out that the problem was not caused by redirects. It was segfaulting because the timeout was too small. I added code to prevent the segmentation fault on an empty response and increased the timeout to 30 seconds.
