I have a soft spot for magic tricks where there's really not much of a trick and the performer does pretty much exactly what they say they're doing.

Releasing my Single-Header MPEG-1 Video and Audio (Layer II) decoder for C and C++.

Based on pl_mpeg but complete co-routine style API overhaul, fixed point integer only for embedded system, SIMD (SSE4.2, AVX2, Neon) for modern hardware, fuzzed and PSNR verified against FFmpeg.

API also allows for async io or even running demuxer, audio and video in own thread (requires own mt queue implementation).
