Obsolete? Hmm. Not quite. The advantage of IMA today is that it was designed in the days of the 486 and the 68040, so it has a negligible CPU overhead on a modern system. mp3 is not super-heavy, but it's certainly not negligible. Note that a vanilla Quicktime movie compressed with Cinepak and IMA is *very* portable. I think it plays on just about any PC under a wide variety of architectures, including Linux, BeOS (sigh) and Windows 3.1 boxes. As well as older/slower target platform configurations, if you're using one of the new fangled processor-taxing video codecs, a lightweight audio codec like IMA is also a very good choice.
