Embedding mp3

I'm probably on the wrong list then, but hopefully one of you nice-smelling 
people can help me. I'd like to embed a few mp3 files in a swf (as opposed 
to streaming mp3).

I know ming can start a streaming mp3 and claims it cannot do anything else 
with sound, but I browsed some of the functions in CVS and found I can 
create SWFSound from an SWFInput, and I can create an SWFInput from an 
unsigned char *buffer.

So I guess all I need to do is included the mp3 file and point an SWFInput 
at the start of it? Or am I barking up the wrong tree here?

If ming cannot do this are there any other (linux, server-side) tools that 
might be able to help?

Thanks,

Darren
