Incorporate simple flash based playback instead of WMP

Can you incorporate this simple open source flash based stream player in the topbar instead of using WMP. This would allow users to steam directly within the UI with non-windows based devices. It's also very light weight. I've been using just the 'button' player which is just a simple play/stop button.

While I'm already using this in the 'custom header' section, this seems like it'd be a valuable replacement for WMP and easy to implement. (I'd also like to be able to place it in the header bar which I can't access presently)

Only thing is it looks like it only plays mp3s
Can it play a shoutcast stream?

Yessir-
I'm using it presently to play my stream.
I couldn't get it to play my aac stream, but it worked fine on an mp3 stream
Here's a code test page:

Looks something like this:

Code:
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/button/musicplayer_f6.swf?&repeat=true&song_url=http://streamaddress&" width="17" height="17"> <param name="movie" value="http://musicplayer.sourceforge.net/button/musicplayer_f6.swf?&repeat=true&song_url=http://streamaddress&" /> <img src="noflash.gif" width="17" height="17" alt="" /> </object>
