Hi!
distmp3 is dead upstream since 2003, and hasn't seen Debian maintenance
other than RC bug fixes and debconf translations since 2004.

The problem it solves, distributing sound encoding, is long since history,
an even the lowliest phone can encode way faster than realtime; on a modern
desktop encoding an album single-threaded takes faster than you'd need to
type all the arguments to "parallel".  The notion of running a bunch of
servers just to encode static audio files is laughable...
