if media server does not provide direct file urls, neutron must rely on a middle man to initiate audio playback, correct? if so any one have thoughts on an elegant solution (i love gmusic streamer but there is an API for deving, no?) assuming that net buffers can be tweaked to accommodate this incoming data load, what constraints does neutron have on initiating playback? (it simply fails on anything larger than mp3 it seems).

That being said, some ?s, this is specific to hispeed 3/4g primarily: I'd rather deliver quality source to quality neutron the catch is connectivity and poor buffer/cache management. the connection over 4g vzw is faster than spotify on 3g with 4x the bitrate. This is already possible through jriver's proprietary mobile streaming app which allows uncompressed stream source (FLAC 16/24bit) which is encoded and decoded by fantastic jriver codecs. i am looking to develop a similar interface to relay hijacked audio streams from jriver (or similar audiophile grade servers) without compromising lossless bitrate. this works in principle like the Google music streamer plug-in currently available for neutron (brilliant work). Earlier today i managed to share a jriver mc17 webplay stream by manipulating the server cmd line controls and providing neutron with a pre authenticated link.
