Dynamic MP3 Streaming

To save on server space I've been trying to work out if it's possible to stream MP3 files (the original being 192kbps 44.1 Khz Stereo .. basically CD quality) at different bit-rates using PHP.

Does anyone know if (a) this is possible and (b) there are any examples out there somewhere?

An example might be to have a PHP file which does all of the header() stuff and actually streams the MP3 file... but depending on what info I send the file (stream.php?kbps=32) then it would stream at that rate instead of the original.

I've got a strange feeling this isn't going to be possible :?

you have the correct feeling, php does not like doing things like this.
