An interesting method I now realize is possible:

A previous method I was using had sox and for some reason mpg123 or 321 I guess, to generate a "physical" temporary wav somewhere, this method use a pipe instead of an actual temporary file.

The input file isn't necessarily mp3, it can be m4a/aac at least, possibly also webm,...

Just an organized rant that I'll expand gradually as I think of new things. I'm not an expert in this subject but I believe that if more designers adhered to some of these principles, it would reduce somewhat problems related with stress, like high blood pressure, violence in the workplace, mass shootings.

But, unlike (Chr)Opera, Chromium, or Vivaldi, installing it (at least with their provided .deb installer) will mess up with your install of Chrome!

It kind of replaces it, I'm not sure the extent of the mess yet.

After just taking a look at it, and trying to run chrome as usual, it will display a message, "please run slimjet with the...
