  Hi Nick,

  Thanks, and I just wanted to let you know that it builds perfectly
  on Slackware, too. :)

  I don't know where the guy went who maintains TooLame, but my 2
  cents worth is that the libaudiofile idea sounds good to me. This is
  a really great piece of software, I hope development continues!

  Take care,
  Steve
