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

["Mike Taht" <>]

In theory the mavcrunch should be good for floating point assist and be of great use for floating point intensive ops.

In actuality the toolchain doesn't do it. You can, with some effort, generate a static binary that has maverick crunch support, but that barely works, and threads and shared libraries are right out.

I note that there is a fixed point ogg decoder called "tremor", perhaps that will have enough oomph to do ogg.

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
