This had potential.I think what he tried to say is: It may or may not work. There is no official support. If it works for you: fine. If it doesn't or break: no official support ('also fine'). regarding meta data: It's *exactly* the same as for MP3 streams. There is no technical difference between them. Maybe that helped you.
