Well the main advantage I can see is that we are able to have mp3 support without adding a new library dependency. This will be especially useful for platforms other than Linux where libmpg123 is not present. Such as the Mac.
Heh yeah I didn't think about this.
There is no technical or licensing reason we would have to link to the native library.
We could make a configure parameter that either links native existing libmpg123.so or builds the independent builtin version.
It's not worth the trouble. In fact what your doing sounds perfect now that I've had a chance to think about it. We already pull in too much crap for external libraries. -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo
