This version adds support for several different audio backends,
playlists, a manual page contributed by Lubomir Sedlacik, and numerous
bug fixes.
Currently supported audio backends are the original Sun (OSS) backend,
an optional aRts backend (still experimental, so not compiled by default),
and a raw pcm backend which writes the decoded stream to a file or stdout.
a command-line MPEG audio player, into the NetBSD Packages Collection.
mad123 is a simple command line MP3 player using Robert Leslie's
libmad fixed-point MP3 decoder library.
This is not meant to be a serious replacement for the ubiquitous
mpg123 program. Instead, this is a merely an experiment in using
libmad. At the time mad123 was written, a couple of things set it
apart from the command line MP3 player supplied with libmad (madplay):
1) Supports URL style MP3 pathnames.
2) The audio output is double-buffered.
3) Streams can be pre-buffered using read-ahead.
4) Simple keyboard controls.
5) CTRL-C behaves like it does for mpg123.
6) It can be installed setuid-root so it can adjust scheduling
priority to reduce its susceptiblity to jitter.
