MPEG decoder...

I have an MPEG decoder that I can make available.  It is in C and I have
succeeded in compiling it under Windows NT Visual C++ and NetBSD 0.9 with GNU
 V2.4.  The code is rather rough, only decodes Layer II, and is rather
slow.  However, I figure if I release the code to the public, some rocket
scientist can make it ran fast...  My only conditions are that I am acknowleged
and notified when someone uses the code in a freeware/shareware/commercial
product.  Let me know if you're interested.

P.S.  I'm also working on an encoder.  It appears that Xing's encoder is not
all that great (sound quality), and also does not conform to the MPEG-I spec.
If you'd like, I can keep you posted on this as well...
