That's not necessarily true. You can check for NEON at run-time in /proc/cpuinfo, and e.g. libvpx does exactly that. A certain ARM-based Linux kernel-based smartphone operating system has the same ABI for both NEON-capable and NEON-lacking chipsets. I guess Ubuntu is trying to do that too. -- Rémi Denis-Courmont http://www.remlab.net/ _______________________________________________ pulseaudio-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/pulseaudio-discuss
