Why stream an mp3 file in the first place? Is the network saurated? Do
you really need the quality that mp3 offers you, just so you can
transcode it to phone quality and waste CPU in the process?

I wonder if it would be useful to stream music from another server using
simply asterisk or a similar voip server: a client holds a permanent
connection somewhere and provides a stream of sound.
