What would you install to have a working web player?

Hello all.

I've written a Flash player for Shoutcast.
For all of you that have a bitter experience with preview attempts know that:

- it works with AAC, AAC+, MP3
- reads metadata without any other server/client side help
- has no memory issues
- uses 2-3% of my 2GHz processor

And everything would be perfect if not for the pesky Flash security sandbox.
It needs a socket server on port 843 to allow access.

The good news is that that is not that complicated. My question for you: would/could you install the server?

Would you prefer a plain text option like http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashpla...icy_files.html or an executable program with a graphical interface?

These are pretty big claims, if you made an open source one that works with AAC+?

If its true then you might officially be the new king of flash.

Can i demo it?

Flash 10.1 allows some new ways to fix old problems

Leaving the skepticism aside, would shoutcast host providers be willing to set up a socket server if their users ask for it?

The socket server only listens to port 843 and outputs a small text life - the crossdomain.xml

No media servers needed.

I'll ask people to beta test in a couple of weeks. I hope.
