LibMPEG3 can also be used as an input plugin for CL-Amp and SoundPlay by Marco Nelissen.
To use it with CL-Amp, copy the "libmpeg3.so" application to your CL-Amp "Plugins" directory (you have to copy it, placing a link won't work) and rename it to "in_ac3dec".
To use it with SoundPlay, simply copy or link the program to your SoundPlay "Plugins" directory (it's not necessary to rename it).

This replaces the Ac3dec plugin for CLAmp and SoundPlay but it still uses Ac3dec engine.
