I've uploaded a test MIPSel binary to google code which uses the Tremor Ogg/Vorbis fixed point decoder. The mp3 (libmad) and flac decoder libraries have never required an FPU.
I've tested this with my Popcorn hour A-110 using the em8xxxoss kernel module. Information on the OSS and ALSA sigma smp8635 DSP modules are available from 'here' (http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showthread.php?tid=42584). I've also built a modified version of the module with reduced informational messages. This module reduces the CPU load by ~23% over the one above. However, it sometimes seg faults when loading so I haven't made it available until I've tracked down the problem. You'll need to install telnetd on the popcorn hour using the 'Community Software Installer' (http://www.networkedmediatank.com/showthread.php?tid=33465) and enable the built in ftpd server from the PCH setup menu to be able to copy and start the binaries. Included in the tarball is a binary of aumix which can be used to adjust the master and pcm volumes. By default squeezeslave sets both levels to 70. aumix -v 100 aumix -w 100 To reduce CPU load you can use the command line option -voff to avoid the floating point volume adjustment code. This will disable changing the volume from the server web gui and replay gain will also not be applied. You'll need to use your amplifier volume control. I am able to run squeezeslave without this option but YMMV. To run squeezeslave in the background and discard any error messages start squeezeslave like this; squeezeslave-lnx26-mipsel-0.9-208 -voff -R -M/dev/null sbshostname -- ralphy Ralphy *4*-Classics, *2*-Booms, *11*-Squeezeslaves 'Squeezeslave' (http://code.google.com/p/squeezeslave/) 'donations' (https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donations&business=LL5P6365KQEXN&lc=CA&item_name=Squeezeslave¤cy_code=USD&bn=PP%2dDonationsBF%3abtn_donate_SM%2egif%3aNonHosted) always appreciated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ralphy's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3484 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=63966 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
