JMF and MP3 streaming

Question

Hi,
I tried to write an JMF Plugin for an MP3 audio stream. The plugin should buffer the compressed MP3 data, but
extending the AVReceive2.java with a plugin did not send any output to the player.
Would someone please help me with a code snapshot?
Any better ideas than using a plugin for MP3 stream buffering?
Thanks in advance,
     Florian

//: SimplePlayer.java
// This is a simple JMF Program that will play any support audio

/* This for loop concatenates the input

If the command line input has spaces
java will parse by the spaces.
For example: java SimplePlayer c:\My

After for loop:
