this didn't end up making 0.7 but should be target for 0.8 IMO

Does this look like it will be resolved with the impending 0.8 release?

Sorry, it didn't make it into 0.8. The AVAudioPlayer class Titanium uses for playing sound on the iPhone doesn't handle streaming or any non-local files. To do streaming, I'll be delving into Audio Queue Services, which is much more low-level, and switch between the two methods depending on the url.
I do believe in 0.8, however, if it is not a stream, you could use HTTPClient to download the data, then save it as a file, and play the file passing the file.url in. Titanium would translate the url into a filepath for AVAudioPlayer.

This was fixed a while back, with even a streamed url in Kitchen Sink nowadays.
