I guess in the limit, I'm expecting to be able to find an MP4 Structured
Audio decoder everywhere that I can find an "MP3 file" decoder today --
which may be approaching JVMs in ubiquity at this point, given how
many proprietary player programs are adding MP3 support.
For your application, I guess the important question is "what's that limit,
in terms of how many years away?". Anyone have a good crystal ball out
there?
