Hello,

I intend to add mp3 support to the svn codebase soon. It has worked flawlessly 
with EliteForce sound data which is on the largest part mp3 based, so it is 
well tested. (x86, x86_64, ppc, Linux, MacOSX, Windows...)
I know that Timbo has some reservations against mp3 support, mostly for 
ideological reasons.
Granted, I would always prefer vorbis over mp3. Still, we cannot hide from the 
fact that mp3 is a common format so there are cases where sound/music people 
want to use for their mods are exclusively available in mp3 format to them. 
To convert them to ogg would mean a loss of quality.
The mp3 support would be used like the vorbis stuff and will have to be 
explicitly enabled at compile time (i.g. Makefile.local). Furthermore, libmad 
is required.
Protest now, or I will apply the changes in a few days.
