[pdftex] how to embed mp3 into pdf using pdfTeX?

[Tigran Aivazian]

Thank you, Alexander.
I was going to start writing (based on attachfile.sty) something which 
would do exactly what your movie15 package does. So you saved me a lot of 
time and effort.

The only drawback is the requirement for PDF 1.5, i.e. the result not 
accessible on Linux. I haven't experimented with this yet but, presumably, 
Linux Acrobat 5.0.9 would still display the PDF okay, just ignoring the 
multimedia attachment? Or will it refuse to display it completely? Also, 
in cases like these a primitive Linux viewer like xpdf is an advantage (as 
it is completely ignorant of all interesting PDF features). Maybe xpdf 
would still display it. Anyway, I will experiment to see if I need to have 
two separate PDF files or can keep a single one.

Kind regards
Tigran
