I'm thinking about creating an application to download CC music files
from ccHost-based sites, but I don't know if there is any existing API
to do this. Other approach could be to parse the feed looking for
audio files, but this option would only download latest content.

actually the feed might be enough because it is based on tags and
other goodies. The basic syntax is:

[root_url]/[virtual_root]/feed/[feed_type]/[tag_list]

where tag list is a space delimited list of tags to search for.

http://ccmixter.org/crammed/feed/rss/contest_source+crammed

In fact the tag list can be a user's login name:

For text based searches you can use the Sample API which also returns
rss feeds (more info here:
http://ccmixter.org/media/viewfile/pool_api_doc.xml )

Let me know if that doesn't answer your question...
