Nanos gigantum humeris insidentes: This project is dedicated to my European heritage.

1. About

FF (mpeg and) SoX Input 2a is a plug-in for Winamp based on the FFmpeg and SoX libraries. Using FFmpeg almost all multimedia files may be played with Winamp, including but by far not restricted to H.264, VP8, and Opus.

Note that only a minimal FFmpeg is bundled with FF (mpeg and) SoX 2a Input Plugin releases. If you you want to have full FFmpeg support you have to get a complete FFmpeg build from third party sites (see below).
