Summary     : XMMS input plugin to play mp3PRO files and streams.
Description :
The Coding Technologies mp3PRO Decoder plugin is a complete
ISO/IEC 11172-3 ("MPEG-1") and ISO/IEC 13818-3 ("MPEG-2") implementation
of the MPEG Layer-3 decoding algorithm with the additional ability to
handle the mp3PRO enhancement. The proprietary Fraunhofer IIS extension for
sampling frequencies of 8, 11.025 and 12 kHz ("MPEG-2.5") is also supported.

Install this plugin if you want to play mp3PRO files or streams. To ensure
using this plugin for mp3PRO files it is recommended to disable the built-in
MPEG Layer 1/2/3 Player.
Distribution: (none)

I found that if I did disable the normal plugin - libmpg123 - as recommended, this one didn't work! DaveR 08:10, October 30, 2006 (AKST)

mp3PRO Plugin: In use

Over a few days using this plugin, it's pretty flakey. It's fine when you get it going but I find it often takes several iterations of Play and Stop before it will play the WWR stream. It's a bit like kick-starting an unreliable motorbike!

I can find out very little about the plugin. There is a comment here that it has a lot of debug info left in it. The version number suggests it's an early version. It is not on the 'official' Coding Technologies site. DaveR 08:22, November 4, 2006 (AKST)
