I think we're trying to deploy on JDK1.1 for now, so it would be best to
not depend fully on JMF (since it requires 1.2). However, if we make a good
abstraction, a 'platform specific' implementation could be done in JMF too
if someone felt like it.

I also shudder to think of what the requirements are for a machine that can
decode MP3s in java.
