orry then i don't understand what you need: that code is connecting,
reading out data and playing the stream from the server socket (it's not
all in that file btw). alltough i understand your need for plain
documentation instead of peeking around into code.

i used it too on older versions of muse, take it just as an advice:
libmpeg code is faster, reliable, threadsafe and last but not least LGPL.

i signed the xaudio license and sended the fax and never received
something back (6 months passed). if you don't have that license approved
back allready i guess it's not a good move to develop on it cause you get
problems in not being able to distribute.

(OT) i'm working out something using your effects, first release planned
within the month. hope you will appreciate.
