Concerning a DRM scheme: why bother. Audio will be played anyway (the sole purpose of the site), so there is no win gained by implementing a restrictions management.

Nah, the worst SoundCloud has done in my experience is to blacklist an app I registered with them that called their undocumented APIs after watching what their apps called.

Fair enough, I guess it violates TOS but a bit annoying since public API is basically abandoned and lacks a lot of features.

You wouldn't have happened to have been using the api-v2?

Yes, I did :)

Can't remember why, I think some fields needed to stream in the same way as the app, or read some metadata, were only present on v2.

Same here. A cool trick but not exactly reverse engineering the API.
