Add 2-3 New Providers to Embedded Audio Field Module

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Background
The Embedded Media Field (emfield) is a module that adds a CCK field type
that allows for easy insertion of media hosted on popular third party
sites. Emfield can be extended by adding new provider files (usually called
%provider%.inc) to the module's folder. In the past the module has
supported embedded video fields (i.e. youtube, revver, blip.tv) and
embedded image fields (i.e. flickr, photobucket, etc), but as of Jan 08,
2008, emfield now comes with an Embedded Audio Field (emaudio) module which
allows for embedded audio fields.

Task
The initial release of emaudio only supports one audio
provider--podomatic.com. The task here is to extend emaudio to support 2-3
new providers, preferably those providers that will be in the most demand.
In order to do this the student will have to do the following:
- Research possible third party audio providers for candidates (some
possibilities are: facebook, yahoopodcasts, podcast alley, podcast ready,
itunes)
- For selected providers the student will need to research whether the
provider has an API to interact with their site.
- Using the podomatic.inc provider file as a guide, the student will need
to create a provider file for each provider they are adding. Some of the
tasks that go into this step include: studying the providers api (if
available), studying feeds from the providers (if available), figuring out
the RegEx that will be needed for emfield to parse the link that users
paste into the field.
- If the site provides an embed code, ensure that users can paste either
the url or the embed code.
- Test the file works in at least three browsers and ensure that the code
it creates is xhtml compliant.
