1MP3 library
2-----------
3Version 0.2a
4
5--some modifications made by Glen Sawyer for use with MP3Gain.
6--In particular, I changed it so that these routines pass back
7--the raw double decoded values instead of rounding (and clipping)
8--them to 16-bit integers.
9
10This decoder is a 'light' version (thrown out all unnecessay parts)
11from the mpg123 package. I made this for a company.
12
13Currently only Layer3 is enabled to save some space. Layer1,2 isn't
14tested at all. The interface will not change significantly.
15A backport to the mpg123 package is planed.
16
17compiled and tested only on Solaris 2.6
18main.c contains a simple demo application for library.

34 cannot or do not want to use the code under LGPL. So, if you send me
35 significant patches, I need your explicit permission to do this. Of course,
36 there will always be the LGPLed open source version of the 100% same code.

38 to distribute your changes again under LGPL.
