- Well the last release of the mpeg_play the porter said he was getting
- about 5.3fps. And to that rumor of a cbm guy, that comes from a cbm guy
- on the net saying he might look into optimizing it a bit. If I had a copy
- of his post I could quote, yet he sounded like he was going to look into
- it.
-
- And to that note, I understand with the 040+dsp card due late spring,
- I understand that there is sufficient amount of math routines on the dsp
- that with help you should get your 30fps fairly easily. Perhaps enough
- free processor time on the dps to get 2 channels free for sound simultaneous
