[gentoo-dev] the mpg123 fiasco

[Seemant Kulleen <seemant@gentoo.org>]

Hi All,

So, mpg123 has its share of problems, not least of which is its
licensing.  So, the proposed solution is to have a virtual/mpg123 which
mpg321 will provide by default.  I understand that there is one package
which will need some patching (and it's being looked into -- the names
of the package and the looker-into escape me right now, because my brain
is made of swiss cheese) to work with mpg321 as a drop-in replacement. 

So, if everyone is ok with it -- I will institute this change in about
48 hours.  If you agree with this solution, please do NOT respond.  Only
respond if you disagree (and please give a logical explanation).

thanks,
