Why not just use ffmpeg(1) by itself?
- From command line: ffmpeg -i mysong.mp3 mysong.swf
Of course this will work for most formats ffmpeg supports, and you can
pass several other options to it.
The conversion works here just fine, but I honestly have no idea how it
will work in a browser (I don't have a sound card hooked up right now)
as it has no controls or user interface. If you actually need a user
interface (I'm of the opinion that UI is simply fluff -- we all use the
same netcat to browse the web, chat, and email, right?) then this method
won't work perfectly for you.
