I'd love to, but i'm still to stupid to create shared libraries with cygwin.

well, i compiled them, and they work great with mplayer - although they 
are statically compiled into mplayer because i wasn't abled to create 
shared libs yet. Gerrit Haase already gave me some hints, but i'm no C 
programmer and i don't know much about autoconf and automake - at least 
not enough to create shared libs.

i think i didn't try ogg123 yet. i couldn't find any ogg123.exe to test 
it. i think configure decided not to build it.
i also think, that cygwin doesn't have any OSS emulation, does it?
