Yes, a couple small issues tho:
- Oded needs to fix nutmerge to use correct fourcc for mp3, not twocc
crap. :)
- It's possible that we could find implementation bugs causing samples
not to be strictly valid. I wonder if it would be too hard to make
'nutlint' to test samples before we bless them as official..?
