NEW since V2.2:
- Using new descriptors the problem with mp3 (MPEG 1 layer 3) streams
has been solved. They are now recognized as mpeg audio streams...
- Much faster due better buffer size calculations.
-----
INTRODUCTION
Datatypes class for MPEG audio streams.
REQUIREMENTS
- You need at least Kick/WB 3.0.
- mc68020 (required by the "mpega.library" decoder).
This datatype checks the CPU installed and rejects any attempt to
open it if the CPU is not available.
- "datatypes/sound.datatype", >= V39.
USAGE
If the datatypes descriptor file was activated, any attempt to load
a MPEG audio stream using GMultiView, MultiView, AmigaGuide or
SwitchWindow will load and play the sample.
If you want to save the current sample in mpegaudio.datatype's local
format, use MultiView's "Project/Save As..." menu (or GMultiView's
"Project/Save As Raw...").
(NOT IMPLEMENTED YET)

SYS:Classes/DataTypes:
Copy CLONE FROM "mpegaudio.datatype" TO
"SYS:Classes/DataTypes/mpegaudio.datatype"

redistributed, provided that the package is always distributed
in it's complete form (including it's documentation). A small
copy fee for media costs is okay but any kind of commercial
distribution is strictly forbidden without my permission !
Comments and suggestions how to improve this program are
generally appreciated!
Thanks to David Junod, who wrote the datatypes environment and lots
of the datatypes example code, Matt Dillon for his DICE, Olaf

documentations.
