Enough power to decode PCM?

[Terry Yager]

Flowing current can make noise all by itself. It's the same principle which makes an AC transformer hum and the flyback transformer in a TV set squeal. I have a Sony Walkman which has no built-in speaker, but if you unplug the headphones and turn the volume all the way up, you can hear a faint, tinny rendition of the audio -- the circuitry inside the Walkman itself is making the noise!

Remember the first electronics project you (ie, almost all of us) ever built...that crystal radio...?

AM Stereo, now there's a concept.
Is that even still around, or did that go the way of quadraphonics & betamax ?

I refer you to my web site:

Fun fact: Everything you see on that site was coded by me directly in HTML by hand, using DOS EDIT and Windows Notepad.

MPXPlay for DOS claims to be able to do it on a 486DX4-100.

MPXPlay can work on a 486DX2-66, the only thing is that you have to turn off the graphic equalizer and pre-load the MP3 into memory.
