Sorry for the slow response. I don't filter through my list boxes as often
as I should.
Donald Burr:

That used to be the name I used for the MPEG audio encode utility.
The more common name is mpeg_musicin, so I renamed them. Put these
settings in your .Xdefaults or Fxtv class resource file, and it'll look for
these alternate names:
! Custom MPEG record and play commands
Fxtv.recCmdMpeg2: mpeg_musicin -l 2 -p 1
Fxtv.recCmdMpeg3: mpeg_musicin -l 3 -p 2
Fxtv.playCmdMpeg2: mpg123
Fxtv.playCmdMpeg3: mpg123
The FreeBSD package "mpegaudio" contains mpeg_musicin and mpeg_musicout.
But I had byte-order problems with them. So I rebuilt the package from
source and that did the trick. The procedure for doing this is documented
in Appendix A in the README:
