TODO:
$Id$
I expect this not to build anywhere except my FreeBSD box. The code has a
lot of portability defines anyway, so please help with patching it.
Linux makefile uses -lesd unconditionally.
Perhaps make USE_ESD_AUDIO configureable, currently it is turned off by
default.
HTTP support disabled unconditionally, doesn't compile on FreeBSD.
nasm support would be definetley *worth* doing, currently disabled (nasm is
not used in Makefile.nol; it is used in Makefile, but on the other hand,
that Makefile has some other trouble). I am leaving out nasm for the sake of
portability... and I need that decoder just to recode some MPC files to OGG
or MP3, so why should I bother ;)
do-install could perhaps install some extra files (is there a manpage in
WRKSRC?)
Basically, mppdec should use some other makefile (or some kind of configure
script) to be more portable. Please help developing it, if you have skills
to do such thing, e-mail author or at least MAINTAINER of this package with
some code.

DESCR:
MPC (MusePack) is a new format for compressing audio data, like mp3 or ogg.
This package contains a MPC decoder, that allows you to listen or uncompress
MPC audio data.
Advantages of this decoder (from project's WWW page):
* really fast!
* direct support of Audio devices under UNIX, Solaris and Windows!
* realtime support on Unix and POSIX 1.b
* support of AMDs 3DNow! and Intels SSE
* support of reading ID3 tags (version 1 and 1.1)
* multiple files support
* runs also on 16 and 64 bit CPUs, not only on 32 bit
* needs less memory
* 32 bit, dithering and noise shaping support, (explanation)
* Microsoft WAVE, Apple AIFF and Raw PCM support
