In my opinion, doing so would lead to troubles : poor audio quality (due to
MuLaw encoding), wasted bandwidth (while lossy, MuLaw encoding is not a very
compressed format), heavy load on the server (MP3 decodig seems to be
resource consumming). The only advantage would be saving space for storage.
Anyone interested in audio streaming can test my decoder at
www.volga.fr/streaming. (Unfortunatly, the streamed sound is in french !)
Sources are available. I will put them online on demand. (I also wrote a
book about this but, once agin, it's in french.) I never had the time to
implement the server part, which ought to be a servlet implementing a gsm
encoder. While encoding is much more work than decoding, an encoder while
use all of the decoding routines. So, work is half done!

this might be a good application for servlets. The servlet could be
asked to decode the MP3 (where there's a bit more processor power) and
download a stream of MuLaw to an applet which could then play it.
