 Check here, until I get to write more of this README:
    http://icculus.org/SDL_sound/
 
+SDL_sound _REQUIRES_ Simple Directmedia Layer (SDL) to function, and cannot
+ be built without it. You can get SDL from http://www.libsdl.org/. SDL_sound
+ has only been tried with the SDL 1.2 series, but may work on older versions.
+ Reports of success or failure are welcome.
+
 Some optional external libraries that SDL_sound can use and where to find them:
-  SMPEG (used to decode MP3s): http://www.lokigames.com/development/smpeg.php3
-  libvorbis (used to decode OGGs): http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/
-  libFLAC (used to decode FLACs): http://flac.sourceforge.net/
-  libModPlug (used to decode MODs, etc): http://modplug-xmms.sourceforge.net/
-  libMikMod (used to decode MODs, etc, too): http://www.mikmod.org/

 These external libraries are OPTIONAL. SDL_sound will build and function
  without them, but various sound file formats are not supported unless these
  libraries are available. Unless explicitly disabled during initial build
- configuration, SDL_sound always supports these file formats:
