It's right, the interfaces are missing, although I am not sure you need to
care about threading here. How about something along the lines:

interface StreamPlayObject : PlayObject {
   async in byte stream input;
};

in this case you would have a type of playobject where you simply can pipe
the data into, and it plays it. It will have no seeks, but the usual "play
infinite http stream for web radio" will not have such things, either.

Thats one option. The other is adding a

Protocol=http,file,ftp

line to the .mcopclass file of a PlayObject that supports these protocols,
and let the PlayObject's do all the work.

   Cu... Stefan
