[PD] Fwd: Externals conflict

hi,

i'm sorry to post this to the list
but i can't reach the authors privately
( my ISP don't know of their domain : e.g.
 Thomas Musil (musil at iem.mhsg.ac.at) and
 Norbert Math (math at iem.mhsg.ac.at) ).

i'm surprised nobody reported a conflict
between MP3S decoding objects :
mp3play~, mp3live~ and shoutamp~.

the problem is the following :

mp3play~ defines its own decoding routines
and mp3live~, shoutamp~ tries to use
LAME's decoding routines.

if you load mp3play~ first, mp3live~ and shoutamp~ will crash PD
because they'll be using wrong routines.

but, i've got a workaround for this problem :
every function and variable should be declared "static" in d_mp3.
thus, all externals can be used without conflicts.

so, thomas & norbert, would you be kind
to make this change to d_mp3 ???

thanx in advance.

Yves/
