There is limited support for streaming MP3 over HTTP in 1.0 release. You simply pass in the URL you want play. This requires an HTTP 1.1 server (not Shoutcast). There is no support for extracting metadata from the stream.
Cupcake adds the capability to stream raw PCM audio from your Java application. Theoretically, you could write a streaming client in Java, but I have doubts about getting the codec performance required to decode in real-time. I think what you are asking for is a way to send an encoded stream directly to the player engine for parsing and playback. That use case is not currently supported, but we do plan on adding that capability in the future.
