Re: [maemo-developers] xbase-clients ??

[maemo-developers] Ogg Vorbis and the N800
Hi as far as I can tell the n800 with the OMAP2420 processor has a vfp (vector floating point unit; see [1] ) Based on this I wanted to find out if vorbis could take advantage of this unit by default. To make it short: Yes it works - BUT it is just painful! What I did: 1) Set up scratchbox for bora -- excellent install script! Thanks! :-) 2) downloaded the sources for libao, libogg, libvorbis from [2] 3) downloaded gst-plugins-base-0-10.9 from [3] 4) compiled on SDK_ARMEL target 5) copied the libs to the n800 6) called gst-inspect: snip- Nokia-N800-51:~# gst-inspect vorbis Plugin Details: Name: vorbis Description: Vorbis plugin library Filename: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstvorbis.so Version: 0.10.9 License: LGPL Source module:gst-plugins-base Binary package: GStreamer Base Plug-ins source release Origin URL: Unknown package origin vorbisparse: VorbisParse vorbisdec: Vorbis audio decoder vorbisenc: Vorbis audio encoder 3 features: +-- 3 elements Nokia-N800-51:~# gst-inspect ogg Plugin Details: Name: ogg Description: ogg stream manipulation (info about ogg: http://xiph.org) Filename: /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstogg.so Version: 0.10.9 License: LGPL Source module:gst-plugins-base Binary package: GStreamer Base Plug-ins source release Origin URL: Unknown package origin oggparse: Ogg parser ogmtextparse: OGM text stream parser ogmvideoparse: OGM video stream parser ogmaudioparse: OGM audio stream parser oggmux: Ogg muxer oggdemux: Ogg demuxer 6 features: +-- 6 elements snap- 7) ran gst-launch-0.10 filesrc location=opensource.ogg ! oggdemux ! vorbisdec ! audioconvert ! dsppcmsink 8) listen to ogg vorbis :-) Conclusion: It works but the cpu load is high. Vorbis decoding takes almost 80% cpu. I also tried MPlayer 1.0rc1-maemo.8 which has the integer based Tremor decoder codec [4] nicely integrated. Tremor needs around 12% cpu for the same ogg file. (That is an expected scale up from the 770 experience - tremor takes around 20% cpu on the 770 - due to the faster cpu of the n800) It exceeds my skills to analyze this much further. However it seems that the vorbis decoder is not vfp optimized ;-) [yet?]. Hm, and now? Maybe someone who is more skilled than me could verify my results. It all boils down to the dsp! The dsp on the 770 and the n800 is the same. So, a once implemented plugin could support both platforms (770 and n800). -- We need a dsp based vorbis decoder! [I know: demanding is easy - implementing rather not ;-) ] As we wait for Nokia to release more codecs we can try to use the Tremor based plugins for the audioplayer [5] (great work!).
