Hi all and happy new year !

JavaLayer 0.4 is out. JavaLayer is an open source, real-time, MP3 decoder/player/converter library for the Java platform. http://www.javazoom.net/javalayer/javalayer.html

Here are changes :
- XING VBR header frame support improved in Header.java :
+ public boolean vbr() added.
+ public int vbr_scale() added.
+ public byte[] vbr_toc() added.
total_ms(), ms_per_frame(), min_number_of_frames(int), max_number_of_frames(int),
bitrate_string(), bitrate() methods check for VBR status.

- ID3v2 frames support improved :
+ public InputStream getRawID3v2() added in Bitstream.java

- Misc :
Bug fixed in the decoder for some +320kbps stream.
Bug fixed : SYNC conflict with some ID3v2 frames.
+ public int bitrate() added.
+ public int bitrate_instant() added.
jUnit tests added (see srctest/ folder)

One small question: does it support Fraunhofer VBR headers (VBRI)?

Yes, it will play VBRI MP3 but it won't return the correct average bitrate (it will return the first frame bitrate).

Why? Could this be improved for the next version?
