Segher> MMX is integer, 3dnow is float.
and 90% of MP3 encoding process is floating point calculation.
rest 10% is integer, like lossless compression (Huffman coding)
But they are hard to vectrize... so we can speed up the MP3 encoding
only little bit using MMX.

right, resampling is one thing we can use the MMX, but the lagest problem
of MMX command set is that there's only 16bit multiply.
