Playing sound streams via AS

Working with sound and streams in Flash is not my forte.

Is it possible to open audio streams (mp3, aac, etc.) in Flash, say, from a Shoutcast server?

How do you do it via AS? Do you need to use NetConnection / NetStream?

Thanks.

Nevermind, can be done with the Sound object with no fuss at all.

yeah but server has to have that crossdomain.xml thingy
