	Mmmm.... does amp convert an 112 kb/sec mp3 to the standard
44100/16bit? 

	And anyway, I'm used to use mpg123 as it has a smaller CPU
consumption than other decoders. In fact, I think amp has a CPU
consumption 3% higher than mpg123. Around 20%.

	But anyway v2, I just found out that splay has a 3-5% CPU
consumption making it the quickest.

	Does anyone have a table with CPU consumtion rate and decoding
quality ? ( I don't know if all decoders _must_ provide the same
output...)
