>Description:

The 8hz-mp3 port is not being distributed any more, due to a possible
licensing problems being brought up by Fraunhofer (apparently the owner
of the mp3 encoder code it's based on?)

Perhaps this port should be marked BROKEN.

also the copy of the distfile that's on ftp.freebsd.org should probably
be zapped.

(PS: I'm back.  Sorry for the long absence, but several bad things happened
this past month, the worst of which was the need to go in for emergency eye
surgery.  Then, work at my job piled up during my recovery, school started,
I had a family wedding to go to, and I'm still digging myself out from under
this mess [but am almost there].
