Not as simple as it looks, unfortunately. Some bytearray modifying stuff is needed here. A PHP-approach (also suggested in the forum) is also not the way to go: it'll eat your server bandwidth since it essentially proxies.

Not done but here is a bunch of code and links. I did a few more experiments. I wrote a java parser which connects and pulls from a NSV shoutCast stream. I started to add this to red5 as a basic service. I wrote an parser in as3 which does not work well months ago, but the java parser does gets every frame.
And now flash player version 10 will do this 'out of the box' with onSample event and getting raw data from a loaded sound object.
Unfortunatly there is no flv output at this time as I spent so much time trying to work nsv as a service in red5. I have not given up yet though.
AS3 code for nsv is here. ( poor parser misses frames and doesnt deal with aux): http://www.actionscript.org/forums/showthread.php3?t=172896
and the popforge sound object factory http://code.google.com/p/popforge/
and the relay.zip java file is attached.

- Milestone changed from Backlog to Flash 5.2
A very old ticket, and no changes have been made to both Flash and Icecast/Shoutcast to impact this. In short, the status is:
- MP3 from Icecast / Shoutcast works in Flash
- AAC from Icecast / Shoutcast does not work in Flash.
todo: write documentation on Icecast / Shoutcast support, stating how to connect to the various streams. The docs should be very vocal in stating AAC is not supported.

This shouldn't be part of the player tickets; removing from here and adding to our community site doc list.
