Can't connect to streamripper

[zeno]

System:
Exaile 0.3.0 compiled from source on a debian Squeeze amd64. Streamripper installed from deb repositories, version: 1.64.6-1.

Problem:
if i want to record a stream with streamripper, when i push the record button in exaile i receive this error from the console:

INFO : Using streamripper to play location: http://78.129.228.37:2470

after this error, streamripper starts for few seconds and then becomes "defunct". Infact i get this output on "ps aux":
$ ps aux | grep stream
zeno 6996 0.0 0.0 0 0 pts/2 Z+ 13:42 0:00 [streamripper] <defunct>

I noticed that if i manually start streamripper from a terminal with -r option (create a relay server on base port, defaults to port 8000) i can't manually connect exaile to the streamripper relay and i receive the same error as above with a window that says "Can't connect to destination":

WARNING : No covers found (xlgui.cover)

However, if i try to connect exaile to the manually started streamripper relay without using "localhost", but giving the loopback address (127.0.0.1), everything goes fine and i can listen the stream from streamripper.
The content of /etc/hosts is good because i have this line:
127.0.0.1 localhost
