I agree.

I use Alpha, and MP3s work fine on it.  It may have been fixed 
in CVS.  I don't remember when it got fixed, but I recall that I 
was involved in the patch.

Anyways, -mieee should *NOT* be used for CFLAGS.  I believe that 
it produces slower code (anybody know for sure?), which is a bad 
idea for processor-intensive programs.

Options that I endorse:

  - get the CVS version
  - release pre8

I'd go for CVS.
