I used to work at Xing Technology, before they got bought out by Real
Networks. I can't count the number of times I've had to read through
ISO/IEC 11172 and 13818.

What OS does your Helio run?
If you can't pipe the output from makewav into the sound device, it should be

Haven't looked, but I'm fairly certain .bin will be smaller than .mp3.
