Player streaming audio over http/rtsp (shoutcast also) BlackBerry app

Question

how can i develop a simple audio or audio/video player for blackberry over http and rtsp protocol for BB ?

I'll try to use:

Player p = javax.microedition.media.Manager.createPlayer("rtsp://...");
p.realize();
VolumeControl volume = (VolumeControl)p.getControl("VolumeControl");
volume.setLevel(30);
p.prefetch();
p.start();

it doesn't work on simulator using Eclipse plugin.

EDIT: I need to play Flash radio and shoutcast especially.

Check out the "Streaming media - Start to finish" application from RIM here:

A lot of the complexity in implementing a streaming media application on a mobile device is handling the different transport protocols: Wi-Fi, 3G, EDGE etc. Whilst getting started I would stick to using Wi-Fi only. To do this on the simulator do the following:

1. Go to Wireless Connections and connect to the 'Default WLAN connection', this will use your normal PC network connection for Internet connectivity.
2. Append ";interface=wifi" to your streaming URLs.

You can always build in a transport handler later once the app is working over Wi-Fi.
