Hi, Well, It seems like I'm having a conversation with myself. Anyhow, to report progress - I finally managed to get tremor working - and it uses about 19% to decode and play the same file (as in my mail above) compared to mplayer. So, evidently mplayer does not use tremor. I had to spend a lot of time figuring out why tremor was giving me broken audio - till I accidently stumbled onto the fact that ***surprisingly*** tremor needs a smaller buffer ~256 bytes compared to the standard 4096 for vorbisfile. And, I'm not using the low mem branch or LOW_ACCURACY flag. There exists another decoder called tremolo which is a hand tuned version of tremor. It claims around 15-20% better speeds. But - I have not been able to compile it till now. So, for now, I'm going ahead with mpg123 for mp3 and tremor for ogg. Still looking for an AAC codec.
