it is in the works, just needs some content-hub integration to serve a
file-picker (sometimes the last 10% of an app take the longest time ...)

playlist support for media-hub (which is the backend to all media
playback on the phone) is also currently in active development and
should land soon.

what you can currently do is grab the stream url from inside the m3u and
call it directly on commandline:

ubuntu-app-launch mediaplayer-app
http://stream.dradio.de/7/251/142684/v1/gnl.akacast.akamaistream.net/dradio_mp3_dlf_s

...

or if you want to learn how to fish ;) 
... you can quickly throw together your own click package for such a
case.
(start with sudo apt-get install click ...)

you need four files like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/10850107/ ... and an
icon.png file ... (i downloaded one from
www.turi2.de/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/DLF-Deutschlandfunk-150.png and
saved it as icon.png)

throw all of them into a dir ... lets call it package/ and run:

click build package 
(from the dir one level above...)
that produces deutschlandradio.ogra_0.1_all.click which you can then
push to the device and install with:
pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted
deutschlandradio.ogra_0.1_all.click

(you might need to "pull to refresh" the app scope to make it show up
then)

you can try the result of the above from (it only took me a few minutes
to roll this)
