* Shorten decoder for SDL_sound.
*
* This driver handles Shorten-compressed waveforms. Despite the fact that
* SHNs are popular in online music trading communities, they tend to be
* much bigger than MP3s. If an MP3 crunches the waveform to 10-20 percent
* of its original size, SHNs only go to about 50-60%. Why do the Phish fans
* of the world use this format then? Rabid music traders appreciate the
* sound quality; SHNs, unlike MP3s, do not throw away any part of the
* waveform. Yes, there are people that notice this, and further more, they
* demand it...and if they can't get a good transfer of those larger files
* over the 'net, they haven't underestimated the bandwidth of CDs travelling
* the world through the postal system.
