Gobbles must have been so busy coding a "robust exploit" for our
software that they forgot the URL of our site: http://www.mplayerhq.hu

Although I like smiling over funny emails, we'd be more pleased if
a real vulnerability would be disclosed in our code - we don't do
security audits, nor do we have interest and time for it.

On to the topic, as far as I know we are NOT vulnerable to this
particular exploit. Our "mp3lib" was indeed forked from certain parts
of mpg123 years ago, but since then the code was optimized so much,
I highly doubt it resembles the current mpg123 codebase at all.
