You use the hybrid ppc.library with WarpOS. It redirects calls to
PowerUP functions to WarpOS.

LAME uses PowerUP, at least LAME.elf does, I haven't seen a recent
WarpOS version of LAME. This should work with the ppc.library emulation
under WarpOS

Voyager's PPC decoders use PowerUP, they should work with the emulator
under WarpOS. I think AmsterPPC is for MorphOS, forget that for now.

Generally by using WarpOS along with the ppc.library emulator.
