Hi Rishant,
since Mixxx is GPL, you are allays welcome to add your personal use cases
like streaming features to Mixxx. Actually there is a demand for it and we
have proposed similar project last year:
http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/gsoc2013ideas?s[]=youtube#cloud_library_support_soundcloud_spotify_etc
But during the application period last year, we have found out that this
project suits not for GSoC.
So if you like to apply to GSoC 2014 with Mixxx you should propose or pick
a different project. If you like to do this project outside of GSoC I am
sure you will make many users happy.
Maybe this is a staring point
https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/blob/master/src/engine/engineaux.cpp
or this:
https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/blob/master/src/engine/sidechain/engineshoutcast.cpp
You should also consider to setup a powerful environment first and try to
fix an easy bug: http://www.mixxx.org/wiki/doku.php/bugfix_workflow
Kind regards,
Daniel
