Yes, of course everyone could do that. But why is Gem no longer able to
play alea.mpg by default, and wouldn't it make more sense to mpeg3toc
the file alea.mpg in git already? I assume more users with limited
knowledge would come up with similar questions eventually.

I am still wondering which library to install on Debian in order to have
"mpeg" support in Gem, and if that would have any effect (or if it is
deprecated).

Thanks for your help!
