Also I have written an mp3 player using libmad's lowlevel API that can read and play shoutcast streams. I realize this might be beyond the scope of a pure decoder but it would be nice if you play shoutcast streams from the commandline with madplay. Should this kind of thing go into the source tree for madplay?
Sounds cool. I'd prefer to keep this kind of thing out of madplay though if at all possible; I think I'd like to see instead something like this:
getshoutcast http://whatever | madplay -
The same logic applies for other network streams... in fact you can already use wget for this:
wget -qO - http://etc | madplay -v -
However, feel free to release a separate utility to read and play shoutcast streams with one command. I'd just like to try not to put something like that in madplay if I can help it.
