APPENDIX A - BUILDING MPEG LAYER 2 & 3 ENCODER SOFTWARE

  First, grab dist10.tar.gz from:

  http://multiverse.com/~rhh/fxtv, or
  ftp://ftp.tnt.uni-hannover.de/pub/MPEG/audio/mpeg2/software/technical_report

  Then:

  tar -zxovf dist10.tar.gz
  cd dist10/dist10/lsf/encoder
  configure
  gmake
  mv encode /usr/local/bin/mpeg_musicin
  find tables -print | cpio -dumpv /usr/local/lib/mpegaudio
  cd ../decoder
  configure
  gmake
  mv decoder /usr/local/bin/mpeg_musicout

  and finally, put this env var setting in your profile:
 
  MPEG_AUDIO=/usr/local/lib/mpegaudio/tables

  NOTE:  For every last pinch of speed, after each "configure", modify
  the Makefiles and change "-O" to "-O3 -ffast-math -mfancy-math-387".

  NOTE:  An older version of this software is packaged as the FreeBSD
  "mpeg_audio" port, but it doesn't like some AIFF files (byte order
  problems), and it doesn't seem to do Level 3 audio.  dist10 does.
