Hi Jan,

Just wanted to let you know that I talked with Benjamin and Maxim (the
two guys from ffmpeg who also wrote the ATRAC1 decoder) and they told
me they are already working on an implementation of ATRAC3+ for ffmpeg
and therefore Linux. They have already written some code with the help
of the specifications from Michael Karcher. As I said before, I
provided them with your recording samples, so they should have
everything you need (ok, actually the specifications are not yet
complete, but it's a very good start).
