The code for mpeg parsing is based on the MPEG-2 Audio Decoder - Lower
Sampling Frequency Extension of the reference implementation in C of
the ISO MPEG working group, to be found at
ftp://ftp.tnt.uni-hannover.de/pub/MPEG/audio/mpeg2/software/technical_report/ dist10.tar.gz

The MPEG library of Maaate contains some of the functions of that
distribution, but has been redesigned from scratch with audio analysis
in mind.  A lot of code has been written to make the API as simple as
possible.  The ISO/MPEG copyright notice is included in this file.

All the other code (tier1, tier2, plugins, plugins_brief, demos
directories) are original from CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and
Industrial Research Organisation) of Australia.  It originated in the
Digital Media Information Systems group which has worked on analysing
MPEG audio since 1997. Now, the Analytic Audio Systems group is
continuing its development.

it by reporting problems, suggesting various improvements or
submitting actual code. Here is a list of these people. Help me keep
