AlienBBC uses mplayer to do RealAudio decoding. The RealAudio codec as implemented needs Floating point support.
As an example - a 266MHZ PPC processor with FPU (such as in QNAP, DS-106, Linkstation HG) can handle decoding needing only about 10-15% CPU. A 266Mhz ARM processor (as in NSLU2) no FPU - the compiler/libraries provides floating point emulation - the ARM processor cannot decode a stream in real time. Real have implemented a fixed point decoder for RealAudio on ARM processors and it works. I don't know what processor is in the Infrant box but I presume it doesn't have an FPU. -- bpa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bpa's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1806 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=27841 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
