I stand by Erik in not doing mp3. However all you who would like mp3
needn't stand idly by, the code is libre after all. Create an
independent patch and host/advertise it separately. Then you/the user
carry the burden and Erik and libsndfile proper remain free of patent
problems.

There's nothing remarkable about it. All one has to do is hit the
right keys at the right time and the instrument plays itself.
