How Oauth works.
How can I see the request headers made by curl when sending a request to the server?

(update) to get your client-id from Soundcloud: From your home page, select more | developers | my apps.
This looks like the easiest way to play streaming content from Soundcloud over the web, Maybe this example could be adjusted to run in Max.

Example API urls,
this one streams a track: (replace client id with real thing)
http://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/6981096/stream?client_id=CLIENT-ID
This one returns an XML file filled with tracks that can be played:
https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks?client_id=CLIENT-ID
See API reference:
http://developers.soundcloud.com/docs/api/reference#users
(update) Use /resolve to get the user id and user info, given the name – like this:
http://api.soundcloud.com/resolve.json?url=http://soundcloud.com/tkzic&client_id=CLIENT-ID
Soundcloud API idea:
Use the Soundcloud comment feature to display lyrics for a song. i.e.., post a comment with the lyrics at the beginning of each phrase.
Another idea would be to run the comments through a speech synthesizer while the music is playing – so you can hear comments superimposed over the music
