Sorry for the slow response.  I don't filter through my list boxes as often
as I should.

Donald Burr:

That used to be the name I used for the MPEG audio encode utility.
The more common name is mpeg_musicin, so I renamed them.  Put these
settings in your .Xdefaults or Fxtv class resource file, and it'll look for
these alternate names:

     ! Custom MPEG record and play commands
     Fxtv.recCmdMpeg2:       mpeg_musicin -l 2 -p 1
     Fxtv.recCmdMpeg3:       mpeg_musicin -l 3 -p 2
     Fxtv.playCmdMpeg2:      mpg123
     Fxtv.playCmdMpeg3:      mpg123

The FreeBSD package "mpegaudio" contains mpeg_musicin and mpeg_musicout.
But I had byte-order problems with them.  So I rebuilt the package from
source and that did the trick.  The procedure for doing this is documented
in Appendix A in the README:
