Good news! GPL Monkey's Audio decoding is coming.

On Sep 13th an ape decoder was added to ffmpeg. 
The latest release of mplayer has it as well.

Source code is here:
http://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk/libavcodec/apedec.c

The mplayer/ffmpeg code was derived from libdemac.
There is also a command line program called demac.
Source for both is here:
http://svn.rockbox.org/viewvc.cgi/trunk/apps/codecs/demac/

There is some indication that this does not work with mac files created by 
older versions of Monkey's Audio.

I have not tried compiling or using any of the above so I have no idea
how well it works.

Gutsy and Hardy are both using 3:0.cvs20070307-5ubuntu4 package of ffmpeg.
Hopefully Hardy will move to something from after Sep13th?

Cheers,
Mike
