[ZinCh]

mpg123 is a open-source real time MPEG 1.0/2.0/2.5 audio player/decoder for layers 1,2 and 3 (includes MP3, MP2). Among others working with Linux, MacOSX, FreeBSD, SunOS4.1.3, Solaris 2.5, HPUX 9.x, SGI Irix and Cygwin or plain MS Windows. Version 1.14.0 is a rather big update, with a good number of fixes and behavioural improvements.

Brief changelog:

• libmpg123 API version 36 (see NEWS.libmpg123)
• Add --ignore-streamlength; Add --lyrics for printout of lyrics (from USLT in ID3v2);
• ReplayGain: Try to detect LAME below 3.95 for the different reference level of 83 dB (adding preamp of 6 dB). User-set gain values are not touched.
• Keep silent about missing bit reservoir when ignoring frames.
• Add the new/old WRITE_SAMPLE variant from MPlayer that makes the generic decoder faster on older CPUs (x86 at least).
• 32 bit output for sndio output.
• Fix MMX tabinit syntax, SGI audio output.

mpg123 1.14.3

- Fix regression from 1.14.1 in parsing of bad free format streams, avoiding apparently endless loops (just very slow reading, in fact).

One thing: Fix regression from 1.14.1 in parsing of bad free format streams, avoiding apparently endless loops (just very slow reading, in fact)

mpg123 1.14.4

- Fix resync logic to properly work again (used to prematurely end stream on bad headers). A regression again, this sucks, but at least we got a regression test for that now.
- Fix aeon-old regression (since 1.11.0) about short seeks: Bit reservoir was reset also for short seeks that did not break continuity.
- Another damned regression got fixed: Sample-accurate seek for files without full gapless info.

Here we go again with another regression-fixing release: That happens when you skimp on verifying your ground-breaking reworking of existing code. Now, the resync logic does not signal premature end of stream on bad headers, short seeks don't get bit reservoir unnecessarily cleared and sample-accurate seek for files without gapless meta data is accurate again.

Please upgrade to mpg123 1.14.4. Really, please do grap the update from the usual download locations.

Who reworks a parsing and data mangling without really making sure that things still work like before? I hope I won't do so in future. Not again.
