read mp3 stream and echo back to client in php

Question

What I intend to achieve, is a page that when a client is to connect, the page is to constantly read from a local ice-cast server (http://127.0.0.1:8000/stream.mp3)

Answer 1

file_get_contents attempts to read a stream up to the end, and since you're trying to read from a broadcast server there will be no end.

If HTML5 is an option, the following may work.
