I've done a little more research on this & it seems that other radio apps are offering this feature currently.
They seem to do it by launching mobile Safari & using the new <audio> tags to play audio streams while the user is doing just about anything else on the phone. Sort of a poor UI experience but it would work.

If you are on the desktop, you can use another process to play the stream for you. For example, your app could invoke a command line tool to run in the background and play your stream. Alternately, your app could use AppleScript to tell iTunes to play the stream. And so forth. There are lots of options here.
On the phone, I don't think you have any options. I think your app has to be alive for any streams you want to play to keep playing.

This may not be coreaudio related -- I'm just trying to figure out
if such a thing is possible with coreaudio.
Is it possible to play an mp3 audiostream when an app isn't playing
via some coreaudio api?
