We acquire a *license* to use the http://heroinewarrior.com/libmpeg3

Although this originally is GNU General Public License code we wrote the author and received permission 
to use the source code in Squeak under either a LGPL or the Squeak-L.

(a) our code base is old, and not supported.
(b) the Sophie team found a few bugs, some MP3 files won't work. 
(c) your user always picks a file which isn't mp3
