It's only got fixing tweaks since it was imported in 1998, nothing depends on it, and (this is a good red flag for deletion candidates) it still has patches removing gets(3). The source files in the tarball are timestamped 1993-94 and the opening paragraph of the README is:
> I found this in a zip file, the test suite missing, as well as the > Makefile. What seems to be the HOMEPAGE of the project (there isn't one in the Makefile) declares it "compatible with IRIX 5.3 and IRIX 6.1", and points users to IRIS dmedia tools if they want a "better quality implementation": http://structbio.vanderbilt.edu/comp/soft/freeware/mpegaudio.html I'm assuming no one is still using it?
