There are a lot of variation in ARM processors. For audio
decoding/encoding the ones with a FPU (floating point unit) are the
best.  The core in the Wall Wart doesn't look like it has a FPU so
transcoding may not be realistic.

Without an FPU, if the decoding/encoding apps does not have a fixed
point implementation, realtime encoding/decoding is not possible.  As
an example, to get AlienBBC to work (i.e. mplayer decode RealAudio) on
NAS such as DS-106, it was necessary to patch in a fixed point
implementation of RealAudio decode.  FlipFlip's SSODS includes mplayer 
but core and library differences make it necessary to have 4 versions of
mplayer all for ARM processors
