Ices 0.x is still developed. So is ices2. They're independent
codebases with substantially different capabilities and users. Yes, in
retrospect naming it ices2 was a poor idea. Too late to correct that
one, though...

We won't add mp3 capabilities to ices2 as it is intended as part of
Xiph.Org's strategy to get users using freely available and freely
implementable codecs (such as vorbis, theora, etc.). The patent
restrictions on mp3 mean that it violates these aims.
