musepack support in FFMPEG would be great ! Pls. note that the existing=20
decoder libs are C++ and the FFMPEG guys dont allow that.

I have sent a link for some MPC SV7 C decoder lib to Mike once, it was=20
written by a chinese MPC fan for ARM decoders. SV7 is the most used=20
Stream Version, so support for it in FFMPEG would be all we really need=20
in practise.

Please shout if i can transfer questions to Frank Klemm, the last active=20
MPC developer, who is now preparing SV8 with multichannel support, etc.
