[ts-7000] can ts-7300 handle floating point intensive stuff like ogg playback

["Dustin Harriman" <>]

Hi,

I've heard that on some other ARM based boards, like the NSLU2, floating
point calculation completely sucks.  So if you want to use one as a music
jukebox, you need to use madplay (which uses only fixed point operations,
but is limited to playing only .mp3), or use some kind of audio-over-tcp
mechanism where some other machine does the floating point for you, and
sends TCP packets that contain the audio that can be easily played.

How does the ts-7300 fair in this department?  Perhaps that
"Maverickrunch" thingy in the ARM does good floating point operation?

Basically, I want to know if it's worth my time to buy a (Creative Labs)
USB sound card so I can play my .ogg collection in xmms on my ts-7300.

Thanks,

Dustin Harriman
