I'd stream this over gemini://, but I don't believe there's any way. If
I'm mistaken, tell me.
On Plan 9 I do:
; gemnine gemini://ftrv.se/_/tdf.mp3 | audio/mp3dec
/dev/audio
I believe with a very simple client that can pipe everything to stdout
it's possible to play it kinda the same way on other systems.

i use almost this exact method in my gemini music streaming experiments. my only addition is a m3u playlist so each segment of the stream can be fetched in one transaction, rather than playing a continuous stream. streaming the playlist sounds kind of neat, but i personally think its nicer to fetch and cache the media in a defined order, rather than streaming it, so you don't run into buffering issues and/or have the ability to try multiple urls if the data can be fetched from multiple sources.
