mpg123

[Victor Tsaran]

Well, first of all, to the disadvantage of Vorbis, it is way too slow

improvements of Vorbis over MP3... The size issue is not very important here
because the size difference is very very small.
Best regards,
VIc

find it in the man page for mpg123. When playing an mp3, how can you fast
