a non floating point version is interesting for embedded platforms and
not all desktops are running with a 3 GHz processor. I think what the
MAD library does is very good and their MP3 decoding is fast. Running
top shows a very nice CPU load. However we can't simply copy their
stuff, because their code is under GPL only and I wanna keep the SBC
library under LGPL.

Regards

Marcel
