- Hello MPEG fans,
-
- I am happy to announce the first release of my free, software-only
- MPEG audio player "maplay". The player was developed for Sun SPARCstations,
- Silicon Graphics Indigo machines and DECstations with the GNU C++ compiler,
- but the program should also work on other platforms.
- Features currently implemented include:
- - playing of layer I/II MPEG audio streams on SPARC 10 machines with
- the dbri device and on Indigos
- (both devices and MPEG are capable of producing CD-quality audio output)
- - it supports all modes (single channel, stereo, joint stereo and dual channel)
- and bitrates (except free mode currently)
- - decoding of streams to stdout into a raw pcm format for further format
- conversions to .au, .wav etc.
-
- The sourcecode and a short MPEG audio stream for testing has been posted to
- alt.binaries.multimedia on 2/21/94.
-
- Enjoy MPEG audio,
- bye,
- Tobias (bading@cs.tu-berlin.de)
