README
hip - Hip Isn't a Player
A LGPLed mpeg audio decoding library.

Based off of Michael Hipp's mpglib 0.2a <http://www.mpg123.de/>, with many
improvements by the lame development team (see AUTHORS).

The interface to the library is based off of vorbisfile.  If you add mp3
support to your app using this library it should be a snap to add Ogg Vorbis
support as well.

This isn't as fast as mpg123 will be for decoding as none of it is in
assmbler.  

Seeking currently isn't implemented.
