+Shine Fixed-Point MP3 encoder wrapper.
+
+Shine is a fixed-point MP3 encoder. It has a far better performance on
+platforms without an FPU, e.g. armel CPUs, and some phones and tablets.
+However, as it is more targeted on performance than quality, it is not on par
+with LAME and other production-grade encoders quality-wise. Also, according to
+the project's homepage, this encoder may not be free of bugs as the code was
+written a long time ago and the project was dead for at least 5 years.
+
+This encoder only supports stereo and mono input. This is also CBR-only.
+
+The original project (last updated in early 2007) is at
+@url{http://sourceforge.net/projects/libshine-fxp/}. We only support the
+updated fork by the Savonet/Liquidsoap project at @url{https://github.com/savonet/shine}.
