Hello Robert Leslie and madplayer fans,
Are there any known patent issues with using madplayer in a product? I am unclear on if there are algorithms which are generically off-limits, or what. I'm asking on the list since I assume the answer will be of general interest.
I have only heard vague hearsay about MP3 and patents, I would love to have harder facts on the matter.
And, for that matter, are there licensing issues for madplayer itself, were it to be used in a commercial application?

P.S. We make microprocessors, and one of our customers is interested in using MP3 to play some recorded talking alerts in an embedded application. I've used madplayer in some demonstrations, and know that it would work great for their application.
