Hi Ron,

It's been years, but, hum, I think you are looking at this wrong.  The 
IBM PowerPC chip used in the MediaMVP (I assume) has hardware decoding 
built in.  From what I remember we poked and prodded it into doing 
(almost) everything we wanted.  And by "it" I mean the processor 
surrounded by what ever driver software we could figure out.  And to be 
truthful, I relied heavily on others to do the "figuring".

(John, are you there?  Did what I said make sense?)

By "almost" I mean I was able to do most everything except cleanly start 
a new stream of data.  Odd as it sounds:

1. I could either cut off the first several seconds of a new stream.
=or=

2. I could have the first several seconds of a new stream repeat.
=BTW=

3. When playing a list of tracks, the transition between contiguous 
tracks always worked.  No cutting, no repeating ... never did figure 
that out.

On other thing, the mvpmc project has totally filled the memory of the 
MediaMVP.  If dumping the existing mclient software doesn't give you 
enough room, you can dump the display driver I added later which uses 
the serial port to display what is playing.  I've got mine set up to 
work on a really wide 2 line VFD.

Other (dump) candidates include a (not fully functional last I checked) 
VNC client and a rock-stable ReplayTV client (really wonder if anyone is 
using that any more).
