MP3 library
-----------
Version 0.2a

This decoder is a 'light' version (thrown out all unnecessay parts)
from the mpg123 package. I made this for a company.

Currently only Layer3 is enabled to save some space. Layer1,2 isn't
tested at all. The interface will not change significantly. 
A backport to the mpg123 package is planed.

compiled and tested only on Solaris 2.6
main.c contains a simple demo application for library.

  patented in some countries). It may be not allowed to sell/use products

SENDING PATCHES:
  The current version is under LGPL. Please consider this when sending patches or 
  changes. I also want to have the freedom to sell the code to companies that
  cannot or do not want to use the code under LGPL. So, if you send me 
  significant patches, I need your explicit permission to do this. Of course, 
  there will always be the LGPLed open source version of the 100% same code.
  In the case you cannot accept this: the code is free, it's your freedom 
  to distribute your changes again under LGPL. 

FEEDBACK:
  I'm interessted to here from you, when you use this package as part
  of another project.
