If I use the suggested madplay with aoss, I have cpu usage as low as 10%. Didn't know vlc needs aoss, so that may explain the lack of audio output :) The first attempt to run vlc through aoss failed with "alsa output error: write failed (Input/output error)". But the cpu usage is still at 70%, I'll give it another try tomorrow. Also noatun is on my list for tomorrow... Thanks, Daniel By the way I am wondering why I can't see your replies on the list? Is this something specific on the hardware list? Didn't happen on community list for me... _______________________________________________ hardware mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/hardware
