you must have tried our sbc encoder before any optimization. we have a version that runs ok* in 32 bits that should execute in realtime without burning up too much battery life. > you were to, say, just store all your music in that format, transcoding > as you uploaded to the 770, then no problem. sbc typically takes twice the space of mp3 and then you'd need to build an sbc decoder into gstreamer to play your files through wired audio. fyi, there are headsets out there that have an mp3 decoder. our a2play test app at least recognizes when the mp3 decoder is present even though it doesn't try to use it. > Thus, there's often more config and poking needed to get the chipset > into the right mode. > > Does anybody know if the N800 uses the same Bluetooth chipset as the 770? it's a bluecore4. you could use bccmd to route its audio to hci. if you do mess around with bccmd, i'd recommend you make all changes to ram and just don't even bother with the permanent settings. it would be so sad to brick the bluetooth adapter in a new n800. brad * resulting audio is not very loud and occasionally makes a "pop" sound on high-volume input. 64-bit version runs without these problems. _______________________________________________ maemo-developers mailing list maemo-developers@maemo.org https://maemo.org/mailman/listinfo/maemo-developers
