This should be possible in theory, given Microsoft Silverlight has
just added support for doing this exact thing in Silverlight 3 (and
there is a project for providing Ogg Vorbis support going on).

Who knows what the licensing implications here are though. The only
WMA decoder I know of that has source available is the one inside
ffmpeg. Performance would be an interesting thing.

It might be worth trying to get something going on Alchemy instead,
mainly for better performance (without the AS overhead).

[flexcoders] Collaborative project: realtime ActionScript WMA converter

2009-05-08 Thread tottenkamen
Hi everyone. I'm working on an application that reads MP3 streams and it would 
be even better if it could read in WMA streams (or Real for that matter), 
decode them, and play them back to the user. My initial thoughts are that this 
is not impossible. It SHOULD be a matter of loading the WMA in as a URLStream 
or Socket and decoding the result into something the Sound object can play. Is 
anyone familiar with source that would do this decoding, perhaps in another 
language that could be ported to AS3? Would anyone be interested in joining me 
on coding an open-source version of this?
