No, currently not. We might integrate it into future versions though. The problem
is that currently there are only free decoders available for ATRAC1 and ATRAC3,
a decoder for ATRAC3+, which is the codec mainly used on HiMD devices,
is currently work-in-progress at VLC/ffmpeg and expected to be finished
by the end of the year.

Once ATRAC3+ is there, it will be very easy to implement. In fact, one could
write a very application which uses libhimd to stream the audio data directly
to ffplay for playback.
