The Mplayer guys do optimisation especially rewriting some blocks of code in assembler but it is mainly video stuff which would otherwise kill a modest processor. Also many optimisation are done for x86 type processors.
Where possible they also code for fixed point rather than floating but I think the guys were just happy enough to write their own codec which has minimal floating point and they use a lot of tables which are generated once at startup - so some effort has been made. My worry is that aside from QNAP and linkstation-HG many newer NASs are ARM or MIPS based without any floating point - so even though they may have high speed processors (e.g. 400-600MHz) they may not be enough for RealAudio. Well at least we know the problem - I'll post the findings on the mplayer list and see if any suggestions are made. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26113 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
