David posted this C code with the following comment: I have no idea if this is useful to folks, but since I had to beat my head against the silly Microsoft APIs for quite some time to get a useable result, I thought it might be helpful to post this little snippet showing you how to find an ACM decoder for MP3s, intiialize it, and use it to decode streaming MP3 buffers.

Reader Simon commented: Need to do some type casting when compiling with Visual C++ 6.0 as well as linking with msacm32.lib..
