Subject: ALPHA version of mp3 support for Tritonus

Hi,

the latest development version of Tritonus, the JavaSound implementation
for Linux, now includes mp3 support. This is due to integration of
javalayer 0.0.7, a pure-java mp3 decoder developed by the javalayer
project. The big credit for this goes to Eric B. who wrote the decoder.

The integration into Tritonus is VERY ALPHA. Limitations include:
- There are many hard-coded values, some of them are just wrong
- It is only possible to decode mp3s with 44.1kHz sampling rate and
stereo.
- The codec is not yet accessible via the normal API.
- Programs crash at the end of the MPEG bitstream
The version including mp3 support is 0.1.81a. It can be downloaded from
the Tritonus developer page.
