play mp3 from stream (not from file)

[Mehdi]

I'm looking for a way to play a mp3 file from a stream, not from a file.

I looked at DirectX
the Audio class from the AudioVideoPlayback assembly can play only from a
file...
And DirectSound is not able to play mp3 files, but it can open streams...

Does anybody know any other ways?

One way would be to use the Windows Media Player ActiveX control.

Dirk,

You should be able to use DirectX to play an MP3 from a stream. From
what I recall, playing anything in DirectX requires the creation of a filter
graph. All you would have to do is take the part of the graph that gets the
content from a file and replace it with a stream.

Hello,

are there any examples for this out there?

Dirk,

I don't have an example offhand. I would google for "direct show filter
graph" and start there. You should be prepared for a good amount of COM
interop work as well in order to do this.

Seems you require a MP3 filter graph.
