iphone embedded internet radio streaming?

Question

I need to build an iPhone app with the ability to stream internet radio.

Can someone please tell me what formats I need to cover or possibly direct me to an open source project to help me do this?

I know that quick time player on iphone supports a number of formats, but I need to wite my own embedded player inside the app, so that the user can be streaming media while working on a different view in the app.

I came accros this monotouch sample one day (programming iPhone with .net). You will find api calls in the source code:
