Having read

	DOCS/tech/codecs.conf.txt

and grepped for "0x3151" in

	etc/codecs.conf

of 0.90-pre6, I believe it's not supported.


Developers:

The message "enable it at compile time!" in dec_{audio,video}.c is
misleading on almost all machine architectures.  It could at least point
to codecs.conf{,.txt} .

I think the un-availability of source code and the list of supported
machine archs should be stated explicitly in error messages and in
codecs.conf (not only in the comments, which isn't even done in the
"AUDIO CODECS" part).
