.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Mp3dec
decodes one or more MPEG audio files, writing
16-bit stereo linear PCM sample data to
.I outfile
(default
.BR /dev/audio ).
If no files are named,
.I mp3dec
reads standard input.
.PP
In the absence of the
.B -o
option,
.I mp3dec
also opens
.BR /dev/volume
and sets the sample rate for playback to
match the audio stream.
When writing to
.IR outfile ,
.I mp3dec
prints a warning to standard error
if the stream rate is not 44100 Hz.
.SH BUGS
It's another GNU behemoth, lightly tamed.
