Hang on there. I managed to factor out the libmad parts of the code
into an external .so file, and use dlopen the access libmad
functionality. Things work here on my local machine. Now all I have to
do is clean up the code and (re)fresh my qmake skills to automate the
compilation, linking etc. I'll send you my patch once I am done.
