S: faster decoder than libmad (2)

Sorry I just realized I need to correct this figure.
I mean the task to feed a 176 KB/s wave stream in
real-time affords frame decoding and synthing of
about 44 milliseconds (per second) on a P4 1800.
This means 4-5% of your application is needed to
keep a single wave stream going, so I'm looking
to improve that performance.

kind regards
