Our docs say that you shall use a real decoder and not LAME if you  
want to decode MP3s. The main goal of LAME is to encode. The decoder  
is just there for the replay-gain computation, and the decoding of  
MP3s (to re-encode which is most probably doing more bad to the  
quality than encoding from the original anyway) is just an easy  
gimmick in this regard. As such I do not think people on HA need to  
test the decoder.

Before releasing a new LAME version, I want to get rid of the internal  
decoder completely. I have not done that, because the XCode project  
files still reference this. So far nobody cared enough to provide  
patches, so after some more weeks of silence (except everyone things  
that 2 months of silence is enough) I will simply remove the XCode  
project files and move on.

Bye,
Alexander.
