BTW, do you know the exact status of MLP ? Is patented and do we know how it works, or is it a 'trade secret' ?
I was quite sure that MLP is patented, but I couldn't find the patent. Meridian Audio at least filed a patent application and it's licensed by Dolby world wide.
I'm not sure if MLP could be patented in Europe for the use in software. I wouldn't care to much about patents. AFAIK there are no legal problems, if you distributing the sources. But I'm not lawyer. Maybe they define MLP as copy-protection and threat you with the DMCA.
I guess the Lame guys should know. They are dealing with the same problem, aren't they?
