Is this application pre-decompressing the mp3/wma/ogg inputs?  Don't
forget that processor noise shows up on most internal soundcards, and
the harder the processor works, the more noise.

Also, for the *NIX folks out there who have noticed that abx.c and
linabx (listed on ff123's page) are mostly nonfunctional, I wrote a
perl script named abx.  It should be on ff123's page along with the
others now.
