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.

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. Multiple audio backends
|
|
such as Sun (OSS), aRts, and pcm are supported.
|
|
|
|
3) Streams can be pre-buffered using read-ahead.
|
|
|
|
4) Simple keyboard controls.
|
|
|
|
5) Playlist support.
|
|
|
|
6) CTRL-C behaves like it does for mpg123.
|
|
|
|
7) It can be installed setuid-root so it can adjust scheduling
|
|
priority to reduce its susceptiblity to jitter.
