That, and the lack of any supported audio. That last seems to be the
real killer.

Does decoding mp3's really take that much processing power? I can run
"rsynth" on a Quadra 840AV, with ${AUDIOSERVER} set to another
machine. I think I'll give mpg123-nas and mpg123-esound a try, to see
how that works.
