I have the TwitterRequest class installed from the tutorial on iCodeBlog and can't figure out how to do an audio tweet using, for example, chir.ps to load an audio file from my app sandbox to Twitter. I know it's possible because of TweetMic but I haven't figured out how to do an in-app audio tweet.

For reference and convenience, here is TwitterRequest.h:

Methods for posting to Twitter:
Code:
- (IBAction)postTweet:(id)sender 
{
	Sitar_JamAppDelegate *delegate = [[UIApplication sharedApplication]delegate];
	//Make sure Twitter User Info is entered
	if (delegate.viewController.optionsViewController.twitterUsername.text != NULL && delegate.viewController.optionsViewController.twitterPassword.text != NULL) 
	{
		TwitterRequest * t = [[TwitterRequest alloc] init];
		t.username = delegate.viewController.optionsViewController.twitterUsername.text;
		t.password = delegate.viewController.optionsViewController.twitterPassword.text;
		
		[twitterMessageText resignFirstResponder];
		
		NSLog(@"%@", t.username);
		NSLog(@"%@", t.password);
		
		loadingActionSheet = [[UIActionSheet alloc] initWithTitle:@"Posting To Twitter..." delegate:nil 
												cancelButtonTitle:nil destructiveButtonTitle:nil otherButtonTitles:nil];
		[loadingActionSheet showInView:self];
		[t statuses_update:twitterMessageText.text delegate:self requestSelector:@selector(status_updateCallback:)];
	}
	else 
	{
		UIAlertView *cantTweet = [[UIAlertView alloc]initWithTitle:@"ERROR: No Twitter Info Found" message:@"Please enter your Twitter account information into the options popover" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];
		[cantTweet show];
		[cantTweet release];
	}

}
- (void) status_updateCallback: (NSData *) content {
	[loadingActionSheet dismissWithClickedButtonIndex:0 animated:YES];
	[loadingActionSheet release];
	NSString *contentEncodedString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:content encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
	NSLog(@"%@", contentEncodedString);
	[contentEncodedString release];
}

The thing is that I'm not sure which urls to use if I want to use chir.ps, nor do I know whether or not I need to make my own Twitter plug-in and run it on my server the way TweetMic appears to do. Please help soon, any of it will be appreciated.
