Audio Stream player : getting informations from the source

Question

Hello everyone,
I'm trying to create a webRadio player, wich different sources.
On a click on a button, the player plays the corresponding flow. I would like to display some informations, like : current music, url, description, ... I think it's possible to have all those informations, because when I play my .pls files in my audio player (winamp), I've got them.
Here is my code corresponding to this part :
private function playSound(e:MouseEvent):void {
            try {
                //Sound release
                pSound.close();
                pChannel.stop();
                //Flow construction
                pSound = new Sound();
                pChannel = new SoundChannel();
            }catch (e:Error) { trace(e.name, e.message); }
            var tmpFlow = new URLRequest(e.currentTarget.name);
            pSound.load(tmpFlow);
            //using pChannel to play the sound allows the source changement on a click on another button
            //Without it, the different sources just surimpose themselves
            pChannel = pSound.play();
            displayInformations();
        private function displayInformations() {
            trace(pSound.id3);
My trace() commaned gives me [object id3Info]
The problem is I'm playing the sound from a url source, not a mp3.
Any idea ?

No, this is not what I am saying.
If MP3 container has id3 tags - you can read them. Also, if MP3 container has metadata and you stream sound with NetStream - you can read it as well. I am not sure about cuepoints though - never done it.
If you are dealing with ohter than MP3 format - you will need to do custom work to read bytes and offsets, etc.
