Ok.

Your request looks like this:

<methodCall>
 <methodName>metaWeblog.newMediaObject</methodName>
 <params>
  <param>
   <value>
    <array>
     <data>
      <value><string>0</string></value>
      <value><string>steve</string></value>
      <value><string>welcome</string></value>
      <value>
       <struct>
        <member>
         <name>name</name>
         <value><string>09 Do You Speak English_.mp3</string></value>
        </member>
        <member>
         <name>type</name>
         <value><string>audio/mpeg</string></value>
        </member>
        <member>
         <name>bits</name>
         <value><string></string></value>
        </member>
       </struct>
      </value>
     </data>
    </array>
   </value>
  </param>
 </params>
</methodCall>

The bug is here: "<value><string>base64stuff</string></value>"

That should be "<value><base64>base64stuff</base64></value>"

See the XMLRPC [1] and metaweblogapi [2] specs for more info.
