The problem is not memory but CPU usage. There is no swap space, so if you run out of memory things would be killed and you'd more than likely have a forced reboot. So the speed of FLAC decoding is the problem, not the amount of memory in use. We more than likely need to look at some ARM

Well I've been running TinySC 24/96 flac -8 all day with VU meters on and not a single stutter after the first 5 minutes... So, clearly the platform IS capable of performing adequately under certain circumstances. However it does seem on the edge with this combo. If I skip tracks AND the VU is on

I guess that means you could operate the Touch with a mouse and a keyboard instead of the touchscreen. Not sure why anybody would want to do that, but if it is easily implemented, why not have the option? -- usch usch's
