Play MP3s in-image

I extracted the mp3 support from Sophie.  It works in Squeak 4.1 and Pharo 1.1.1 on Mac OS 10.6.5

Load SophiePort from http://www.squeaksource.com/SPDProjectUpdates
Then try:
        song := StreamingMP3Sound onFileNamed: '/path/to/yourFavorite.mp3'.
        song play.
        song pause.

Question:
* there were checks like the following that had to be removed for Pharo 1.1.1: "WeakArray isFinalizationSupported ifFalse:[^anObject]".  Is this no longer necessary?

n.b. I am unclear about the license - Sophie has one license, the code itself seems to be SqueakL.  Do your own investigation.

Actually this is the old ancient first cut at an MP3 player that was written by John Maloney in 2000. It's pre-sophie and I'm not sure of the licensing as it might have been purged from the image and replaced by  other code in the last 10 years from contributions by the eToys work, and yet another player I wrote.

The *real* Sophie player starts with the SophieMovie abstract class.

In fresh Squeak4.2-10779-alpha you could go to Ladrillos and load Movies,
collected from old images and actualized often.

Cog VM seems lacks the plugin and FunSqueakCog do not includes mp3 playing,
but all Fun before Cog have it and I send notices here.
