Just curious, if I have a sprite on the stage with the alpha set to 0 does that take up just as much memory as a sprite that is visible?

I imagine it does because it draws the sprite to the stage and then it has to set the alpha to zero.

It may seem like a stupid question but I just wanted to verify.

I've been looking for a solution to this for years, but nothing is conclusively documented. There are many Shoutcast Flash players out there (e.g. radio.de) so I know it's possible.
