amp-0.7.6: description + notes

Extracted from the README:

1. Introduction

amp (Audio Mpeg Player) is an MPEG audio decoder which I originally started putting together as a side project of the MPEG hardware design project at FER/Zagreb - just to confirm my knowledge of the standard. It works with both MPEG1 and MPEG2 audio streams (except for the multichannel extensions defined in MPEG2), layers 2 and 3.

There is a gui for amp, written in Tcl/Tk by Edouard Lafargue. It is available at the amp home site ftp://ftp.rasip.fer.hr

Another gui supported is the Sajber Jukebox, written by Joel Lindholm.

The following people contributed their time and knowledge to amp: Karl Anders Oygard, Ilkka Karvinen, Lutz Vieweg, Dan Nelson, Edouard Lafargue, Andrew Richards, George Colouris, Dmitry Boldyrev, Andy Lo A Foe, Thomas Sailer, Justin Frankel
