   I use this function to grab the thumbs from a youtube video URL which works great...

   function get_youtube_screen_link( $url = '', $type = 'default', $echo = true ) {
       if( empty( $url ) )
           return false;
   
       if( !isset( $type ) )
           $type = '';
   
       $url = esc_url( $url );
   
       preg_match("|[\\?&]v=([^&#]*)|",$url,$vid_id);
   
       if( !isset( $vid_id[1] ) )
           return false;
   
       $img_server_num =  'i'. rand(1,4);
   
       switch( $type ) {
           case 'large':
               $img_link = "http://{$img_server_num}.ytimg.com/vi/{$vid_id[1]}/0.jpg";
               break;
           case 'first':
               // Thumbnail of the first frame
               $img_link = "http://{$img_server_num}.ytimg.com/vi/{$vid_id[1]}/1.jpg";
               break;
           case 'small':
               // Thumbnail of a later frame(i'm not sure how they determine this)
               $img_link = "http://{$img_server_num}.ytimg.com/vi/{$vid_id[1]}/2.jpg";
               break;
           case 'default':
           case '':
           default:
               $img_link = "http://{$img_server_num}.ytimg.com/vi/{$vid_id[1]}/default.jpg";
               break;
       }
       if( $echo )
           echo $img_link;
       else
           return $img_link;
   
   }

   My question is how can I adapt this to grab the thumb from a Soundcloud URL?
