For what it's worth, view3dscene doesn't even support mp3. Only wav and 
ogg. Although probably we will add support for other formats (mp3, flac, 
others) as soon as someone will request it :)

For some inspiration, you can take a look at Castle Game Engine notes 
about X3D Sound component: 
http://castle-engine.sourceforge.net/x3d_implementation_sound.php . I 
described there some experience from my implementation, and some spotted 
spec problems.
