Errors when running minimad

Hi!

1)

I'm a little bit confused!
I am trying to run libmad in Cygwin and while installing libmad I
flagged the configure command:
"./configure --disable-shared --enable-profiling", and then made the
install. Does this make libmad a static ilbrary so that I don't have to
use the flag "-static" while compiling minimad.c?
(I was told to make the library static because gprof doesn't support
dynamic libraries...)

2)

After having some problems compiling minimad.c I read in another post in
the mad-dev archives that I should use "make minimad.exe" to cimpile it.
This works fine, but when I try to run it with "./minimad <test.mp3>
test.pcm" I get some errors:

decoding error 0x0101 (lost synchronisation) at byte offset 0
decoding error 0x0103 (forbidden bitrate value) at byte offset 163
decoding error 0x0103 (forbidden bitrate value) at byte offset 213
.
.
.
decoding error 0x0104 (reserved sample frequency value) at byte offset
224
decoding error 0x0103 (forbidden bitrate value) at byte offset 295
decoding error 0x0235 (bad main_data_begin pointer) at byte offset 412

Does anyone know what this means?

Thanks in advance!
