MPEG Audio Player maplay

Features of the actual version 1.1:
 - realtime playing of layer I/II MPEG audio streams on SPARC 10 machines with
   the dbri device and on Indigo audio ports with 16 bit and 32, 44.1 or 48 kHz
 - support of all modes (single channel, stereo, joint stereo and dual channel)
   and bitrates (except free mode currently)
 - decoding of streams to stdout into a raw pcm format for further format
   conversions to .au, .wav etc
 - free-ware
 - written in C++ using the GNU C++ compiler version >= 2.5.1
 - already tested on
     Sun SPARCs with SunOS 4.1.3 or Solaris 2.3,
     Silicon Graphics Indigos with IRIX IRIX 4.0.5F,
     DECstations with ULTRIX 4.2

Promised enhancements for the next version:
 - increased decoding efficiency
 - support for /dev/dsp under Linux
 - 8 kHz u-law support for SPARC 1 and 2 (but without CD-quality ;-)
 - ???
