What's so brill ? MMaudio is the first GUI-driven
audio encoder and decoder (recorder/player) that
supports:
o MPEG-1 audio (Level 1 & 2) and
o HTTP-access !!!
o and surely much more like WAV, ADPCM and AU ;o)
Here the official README:

This is the evalution copy of MMAUDIO, a highly featured audio
player for Unix-systems. The evaluation copy is limited to

while receiving audio data from a Web-Server !!!
This program belongs to the PowerWeb solution, that
will play any MultiMedia-file in realtime from the Web !
Finally this is the first application with a X11-Interface
supporting encoding and decoding of MPEG-auydio files !
- - supports on Sun's and Linux
o 8-bit- a/u-law or snd-files
o G.721 adpcm
o whatever raw PCM
o WAV
o MPEG-1 audio Layer 1&2
- - records and encodes MPEG-audio
- - starts und stops on demand
- - records and plays
- - adjust volumes
- - autodetects AU (u-law/u-law), ADPCM, WAV, MPEG
- - can handle mime types and plays directly from Web-server
through build-in http-support !

(f.e. /usr/local/lib). Not existing directories will be created.
Please give absolut pathnames as parameters, f.e.
./install.sh /usr/local/bin /usr/local/lib
Furtherone this version depends on the following packages
installed:
tcl7.4 URL=ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/tcl/tcl7.4*.tar.gz
tk4.0 URL=ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/tcl/tk4.0*.tar.gz
tix4.0 URL=ftp.cis.upenn.edu/pub/ioi/Tix4.0b4.tar.gz
MMSAVE needs to find the at least the complete tree of
the scripts provided by these packages, please set the
following environment variables to point to the
scripts of the packages.
These are the pre-compiled locations for the Linux-executable:
setenv TCL_LIBRARY "/usr/tcl/lib/tcl7.4"
setenv TK_LIBRARY "/usr/tcl/lib/tk4.0"
setenv TCL_LIBRARY "/usr/tcl/lib/tix"
These are the pre-compiled locations for the Solaris-executable:
setenv TCL_LIBRARY "/usr/local/tcl/tcl74tk40b3/lib/tcl"
setenv TK_LIBRARY "/usr/local/tcl/tcl74tk40b3/lib/tk"
setenv TCL_LIBRARY "/usr/local/tcl/tcl74tk40b3/lib/tix"
Set them to suite your installation ...
