It's time to be picky again! :banana:

I dunno if the MPEG-3 encoding is public or not, but the MP3 fileformat must certainly be documented very clearly somewhere...

MP3 is based on MPEG Audio Layer 3 encoding - that is, MPEG1, not to be mixed with later revisions of the MPEG standard. As far as I know, MPEG3 was aborted and never used in the big world... So there's just MPEG, MPEG2 (used in DVDs) and MPEG4. MP3 is a part of the original MPEG specification.

As to your question, I really have no idea. MP3 is a proprietary format that belongs to the German Fraunhofer IIS. It's not an open format like Ogg. I don't think if you're even allowed to encode audio without a license... So I guess you'll have to google it hard. :-/
