Note that plugins themselves are shared libraries; it wouldn't take much to

But plugins load at a fixed address, which you couldn't do with these shared 
libraries if you if you would try to load them into a dynamic address. So it 
would require a more sofisticated loader.

 well, seen as im not really getting any feedback, 

Heh, sorry for not following this in detail. I'd be interested if and how much 
this saves on code size vs. the extra tables. Anything which helps to get the 
critical Archos footprint smaller is a great help.

Idea for speech support

2006-07-26 Thread Kris Van Hees
This may already have been suggested, and if so, I apologize...  But could we
add a small footprint speech synthesizer to rockbox, e.g. flite, to provide the
speech for menus, file names, ID3 tag info, etc.. rather than using precreated
sound data?  That would certainly be a huge step forward in providing Rockbox
as an accessible media player.
