Streaming audio only (.mp3) files using MPEG DASH

Is there any way to stream audio only files (.mp3) using MPEG DASH. I'm looking at ways to get HTML5 audio working on chrome without using progressive downloads. Any ideas ?

No.

DASH is both a video delivery system and a video format. It may be possible to have MP3 encoded audio streams in a DASH presentation but they will not be .mp3 files in this case - they will either be .mp4 or .ts files, since those are the two storage formats that DASH supports.

In addition, the support for audio-only adaptive streaming playback is generally very poor. Indeed, even DASH video playback is still spotty in browsers and rife with compatibility problems.

If you wish to successfully use modern adaptive streaming technologies, encode your audio with the much more modern and efficient AAC codec and package it into a proper DASH format.
