Actually this has been done already, unfortunately the project was (and still is) kept under a hat... STMicrolectronics (no -Ericsson in the name ;-) developed a multimedia framework that used sort-of-DSPs to decode, encode, process etc. etc. and exposed Linux-DVB/V4L/ALSA APIs. It's been used in a number of commercial projects but "Open Duckbox" picked it up as well: http://gitorious.org/open-duckbox-project-sh4/pages/Home http://gitorious.org/open-duckbox-project-sh4/tdt/blobs/master/tdt/cvs/driver/player2_179/stm-noarchtarget-player2.spec Having said all that, I don't think that anything of this will be useful in your development. I just mention it as a proof that it viable :-) Cheers!
