I think lame and xmms both use the mpg123 engine. The xmms plugin
seems to handle odd MP3s a bit better than mpg123 or LAME, so I'd
probably think about stealing that one. But now I'm thinking there
must be some nice multiformat audio library around to decode most
things into PCM... will look around.
