Short:    MPEG audio datatype V2.3
Author:   GISBURN@w-specht.rhein-ruhr.de (Roland Mainz)
Uploader: GISBURN@w-specht.rhein-ruhr.de (Roland Mainz)
Type:     util/dtype
Requires: mpega.library (included)
Replaces: util/dtype/mpegadt202.LhA

-----

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)

INSTALLATION
    After unpacking this archive:
    Because this version does not include an Installer script, you have
    to do the installation manually through the shell:

      - Unpack this archive and copy the "mpegaudio.datatype" to
        SYS:Classes/DataTypes:

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

      - Then copy the datatypes descriptor into the DEVS:DataTypes
        directory.

 Copy CLONE FROM "MPEG Audio(%|.info)" TO DEVS:Datatypes/

    The  entire  "mpegaudio.datatype"  package  may  be  noncommercially
    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

    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.
