07:07:33Soap(oops - (s)he's gone)
07:07:48LloreanIf it required a hardware mod it probably was.
07:08:01LloreanDidn't those require some fidgeting to get them to initialize?
07:09:33 Quit BHSPitLappy (Remote closed the connection)
07:09:58SoapI'm thinking you had to "jump start" it by powering it on in Apple firmware, then supplying it with battery power (sourced through the hardware mod) while rebooting into rockbox. IIRC.
07:10:36SoapAs in Rockbox would provide power, but not the "start" signal.
07:11:07LloreanYeah, I think it was something like that.
07:13:49LloreanDo you have any accessories for use with the accessory build, or do you provide it without being able to use it yourself?
07:16:28SoapI have not a single one.
07:16:49Soapjust trying to get testers and feedback for the patch.

08:27:38amiconnAnd no, it won't magically happen no matter how many people are asking for it. It needs someone with enough knowledge in programming and hardware who actually has a Nano 2nd Gen and really wants rockbox to make it happen.
08:28:15amiconnGiven the difficulties, probably more than one person, and it needs good knowledge in cryptography as well, as it seems
08:28:55Blade5245Yea, I know about it being encrypted :s
08:29:09Blade5245I just dunno why it hasn't been done yet.
08:29:30amiconnThings don't magically happen by themselves...
08:29:50Blade5245I know this...
08:30:26Blade5245You'd think someone would spend the time to do something others havent..

13:40:14amiconnHmm. While display flip isn't a new feature as such, it'd mean changing the manual for those targets which don't have it now
13:41:15linuxstbI wouldn't object.
13:41:38linuxstbIt's not a feature that's new to Rockbox, just to some targets...
13:42:02rasherI guess people have a different opinion on "freeze" than what I have. In my mind, it's "don't commit anything that runs the risk of adding bugs - only commit fixes to actual bugs"
13:47:51linuxstb(dragging in people from -community) - I've also noticed that Gnome, KDE and Apple UI guidelines all specify Title Case for menu entries etc, and Sentence case for dialogs. Which I think is what the original intention for Rockbox was.
13:49:14rasherPersonally I think title case should be wiped off the face of the earth, but I'll leave that decision to native (UK) English speakers
13:49:46linuxstbWhat about other languages? Is anyone arguing for title case anywhere?
13:50:11LloreanI'm in favour of title case for menu entries in English.
13:50:16LloreanI can't speak for any other language.
13:50:17n1slinuxstb: I'm not sure if it's the case but some strings may be used both in menus and splashes/dialogs
13:50:35linuxstbn1s: That's what I was about to tell Llorean...
13:50:44n1slinuxstb: I have never seen it used in Swedish and think it would be very strange...
13:51:30BigBambiNon-title case here
13:51:33BigBambi:)
13:51:42*BigBambi sees a UK/US divide
13:51:49rasherLlorean: Remember Rockbox is UK English
13:52:11Lloreanrasher: I don't know if it's a UK vs US English thing though.
13:52:16LloreanIt may be.
13:52:19*gevaerts redefines title case as normal case, and then votes for title case
13:52:31LloreanIs it "Save As" or "Save as" in UK apps?
13:52:37n1sLlorean: if you have time could you check on your nano if FS #7527 is fixed?

13:53:52BigBambiSo in summary, I don't know :)
13:54:05LloreanI personally think normal case looks very odd in menus in software.
13:54:12LloreanSince, to me at least, they *are* titles.
13:54:28linuxstbYes, but titles don't imply "title case".
13:54:30rasherUsing Title Case in the first place for titles, isn't universal
13:54:43LloreanBut it does seem pretty common in software menus.
13:54:55LloreanAt least, in terms of software I've used.
13:55:06gevaertsLots of software is buggy
13:55:09rasherLlorean: "Rockbox doesn't try to emulate other ..."
13:55:36rasherI wonder if Danish has any title case left... Time to craft a regex and have a look
13:55:40Lloreanrasher: Yeah but that doesn't mean you break away from common ways of doing things juts for the sake of breaking away.
13:55:50gevaertsYes, but is it common?
13:56:05 Quit einhirn (Read error: 104 (Connection reset by peer))
13:56:31rasherMozilla apps do it, according to linuxstb KDE, GNOME and Apple's HIG specify it. BUT, those are based in US English
13:56:44rasherSo it's anyone's guess, I suppose
13:56:50LloreanBut since some strings would need to be duplicated to properly split title and non-title case to unique uses, it may be best to side with consistency and drop title case.
13:59:21BigBambiTo be honest, I'm not going to have a fit either way, but personally I would 'vote' for non :)
14:00
14:01:15*JdGordon votes for whatever is the least amount of work
14:01:29JdGordonor alternativly.. If I dont have to do any anyway, then the most amount of work :D
14:02:21Learn1s: I've seen title case in some Swedish translations. Looks weird indeed.
14:02:47nimaMultiple cases suck anyway. It's a terrible feature of English
14:03:33BigBambiI would argue it isn't a feature of English
14:04:39nimaBigBambi: Do all languages which use the Latin alphabet use both upper and lower case?
14:04:41 Part bobjim
14:04:58rashernima: I don't know of any that don't.
14:05:02BigBambinima: This probably belongs in #rockbox-community
14:05:22BigBambiBut, if you mean never use capitals that would be horrendous
14:05:34linuxstbLike the Rockbox website menu? ;)
14:06:06BigBambi:P - in general writing. Not starting sentences with a capital - urgh
14:06:21linuxstbWhat about non-English PC apps? Do they use also use title case?
14:06:34nimaBigBambi: It probably doens't belong anywhere :-P I think it'd be better to delimit sentences in a way that doesn't double the number of characters people would have to learn
14:06:43rasherlinuxstb: Nope, Danish apps don't use title casing
14:06:55linuxstbrasher: That's reassuring :)
14:07:14*linuxstb concludes this is a US-GB thing...

15:19:37scottieI would like to install RockBox on my Sansa e200. I am confused about MSC/MTP/UMS.
15:19:52scottieThe manual says to run in MSC mode ...
15:20:09scottieI'm only able to USB mount my player as MTP ...
15:20:27scottie& the sansapatcher is telling me to use UMS mode!
15:20:29domonokyMSC = UMS = you see it as drive letter... MTP is the bad thing.. :-)
15:20:36JdGordonin the e200 settings you need to change it to connect with MSC
15:21:39scottieok, i'll try MSC mode (don't have cable handy at the moment). From memory, I could only mount my player in MTP mode. Is that unusual?
15:22:14advcomp2019MSC should mount because it is like a flash drive
15:22:22JdGordonits only unusual if youve told the e200 to use MSC
15:23:09scottie:confused:
15:23:28scottieI changed the setting to MTP mode in the player, then I was able to successfully mount it under Linux.
15:24:16bertrikyes that is unusual, I think you remember incorrectly, mounting is typically associated with MSC mode, not with MTP
15:24:46JdGordonit needs to be set to MSC on the player
15:24:48scottieI've got my player here, in settings it's set to MTP ...
15:25:06scottieI've always used this mode.
15:25:18JdGordonthen thats why its not working
15:25:30scottiewhy what's not working?
15:25:38JdGordon[23:20:27] <scottie> & the sansapatcher is telling me to use UMS mode!
15:26:16scottieI just ran sansapatcher without my player mounted (I don't have my cable handy)

15:33:10BigBambiI do
15:33:35JdGordonwanna comment on how im naming bookmarks which arnt easily named?
15:34:28BigBambiI'll think about it - generally I use them on audiobooks or albums, so it is just a directory and therefore fairly easy
15:35:02BigBambiI guess the problem is with ad hoc playlists with no physical playlist
15:35:07JdGordonI guess thats how most people use them?
15:35:14JdGordonand yes, bingo
15:36:53BigBambiI guess there are a couple of options - a dedicated store (directory or file), or stick them either with e.g. the first item in a playlist
15:37:31JdGordonthat second option doesnt sound very usable
15:37:40BigBambiNo, I agree
15:38:05BigBambiI would like to keep bookmarks as they are now where possible - i.e. not have a dedicated store for everything, but then it isn't too nice to separate them
15:39:05JdGordonthere is one downside to the change, if you run a .bmark it automatically stops playback, but if you cancel it resumes again so minor annoyance, but probably not a big deal
15:39:22BigBambiI don't like storing bookmarks in playlist files - apart from anything it makes synching annoying
15:39:38BigBambiJdGordon: I don't think that is a major problem
15:40:54BigBambiFor inram playlists (and I guess database playlists too), a dedicated store is the way to go?
15:41:18JdGordonyeah
15:41:24JdGordonnot really any other option
15:41:31BigBambiI can't think of one

16:14:02rasherSo languages will over time get out of order
16:14:23rasherOr maybe it's my tool that does it
16:15:52linuxstbrasher: Yes, I was wondering how this happens...
16:17:43linuxstbLooking at genlang, it at least adds all new phrases in a random order - not the english order.
16:18:19linuxstb(and they're all added to the end)
16:19:06rasherYup, just confirmed it by removing a bunch of phrases from catala, running -u and comparing the order

16:20:32rasherI'm still not convinced it's much of a problem, really
16:20:47linuxstbNot really, but it's nice to be able to do a diff with english.lang
16:21:06JdGordonanyone know where idle poweroff is handled?>
16:21:53*linuxstb makes a random guess - button driver?
16:22:36kugelJdGordon: anything to be done/left for pitchscreen?
16:23:42bertrikin handle_auto_poweroff in powermgmt.c it seems
16:24:09JdGordonkugel: just fix it so it handles narrow screens better
16:24:18rasherdiff -w −−side-by-side −−left-column english.lang catala.lang is rather interesting, I'll admit
16:27:27kugelJdGordon: well, just to remind you, it's even worse without my patch. I think the special case with such a large font can be counted as "user's fault" ;)
16:28:33bertrikmy problem can perhaps be explained by the behaviour of pp_i2c_send, I think if call it twice in a row, the second call may fail because the first is still busy
16:29:23JdGordonkugel: I know... but its very possible to have fonts/screen combos that would break it on the archos and remotes
16:29:36JdGordonanyone got 3g ipod?
16:29:40JdGordongot a *
16:31:09kugelJdGordon: how about font size < LCD_HEIGHT / 4 ?
16:31:27kugeland, how about just using sysfont in such a case?
16:31:40JdGordonthe problem is the width not the height....
16:33:06rasherkugel: Defaulting to sysfont doesn't work for non-latin scripts...
16:33:54kugelrasher: rec screen also falls back to sysfont on small screens
16:34:21JdGordonwe are trying to minimise this
16:34:29rasherDoesn't mean it works any better

18:01:31linuxstbIs there a "to-do" list for 3.0 anywhere?
18:02:50n1sthere's the ReleaseTodo in the wiki
18:03:13*linuxstb wonders why not ToDo...
18:03:52linuxstbSo there are no "release-critical" bugs?

18:13:00bluebrotherLlorean: he only held the fixes back before devcon to fix them miraculously quick ;-)
18:13:46SoapThe "there is a hub which degrades signal quality to the point of connection resets" issue? Or are there others?
18:14:36LloreanSoap: I think that may be it. I'm really not certain.
18:15:18LloreanIs Rockbox at least rebooting consistently on USB connect these days?
18:15:42amiconnno
18:15:48bluebrotherlinuxstb: what do you think about "hiding" ipodpatcher / sansapatcher a bit? There's always those guys popping up at the forums using some random 3rd party installation instructions
18:16:24bluebrotherand simply moving the tools on the server would break all those tutorials, with the users hopefully using the official instructions instead
18:16:47LloreanPersonally, I'd rather have Rockbox USB enabled and not always connect then, if reboot-on-USB isn't consistent anyway.

18:26:47linuxstbIt will also invalidate genuine tutorials - e.g. for IPL.
18:27:30bluebrothergood point. But the old download could simply redirect to a website telling the users to check if they really need ipodpatcher.
18:27:50linuxstbI guess Bagder could tell us if there are many downloads of ipodpatcher via other sites though...

18:31:17tge101can someone help me out with my 60gb ipod photo, all of a sudden it won't connect to my computer
18:31:59linuxstbSimpliest way is to start the Apple firmware first, then attach to usb.
18:32:15linuxstbOr force it into disk mode (hold PLAY+SELECT as it is starting)
18:33:04tge101it just shows an apple support website
18:33:45linuxstbSo you can't start either Rockbox or the Apple firmware?
18:34:44tge101it started to when i plugged it in, then the autoplay windows thing went for a second, now just this
18:34:55tge101i dont remember how to get the apple firmware up
18:36:15linuxstbI don't understand what you just said... When you start your ipod normally (nothing plugged in, no buttons held), what happens?
18:36:57tge101the apple startup logo comes up, then it shows an ipod with frowny face and an apple support website
18:37:52linuxstbTry pressing MENU+SELECT to reset, then _immediately_ press and hold SELECT+PLAY
18:38:23tge101i got the apple firmware up now
18:38:37tge101its just charging
18:38:59tge101should i do what you just said instead?

18:41:22bluebrotherwhat exactly does "can't get to go" mean?
18:41:53linuxstbThere are two different things - the main Apple firmware (which is what you use to play music) and the "emergency disk mode", which is what you get if you hold SELECT+PLAY when booting. What are you in?
18:42:35tge101the apple firmware (i started it up and put the Hold on), i couldnt get the SELECT+PLAY to work
18:42:36linuxstbOn the Photo it's easy to tell them apart - the emergency disk mode is black and white
18:43:16bluebrotherselect + play only works during startup, i.e. immediately after you reset the ipod

18:47:39*bluebrother is close to giving up

18:48:39tge101i put rockbox on a long time ago so i wouldnt have to use itunes
18:49:12tge101ive been using it exclusively for over a year, ive never had this problem, thats why im hoping someone has a solution

22:03:00saratogaI tested an MPC album which runs unboosted and the GUI seemed normal, and bubbles remained playable while listening to music
22:03:09fmllinuxstb: thanks! I still want to try to implement the flexible way of turning the BL on or not depending on the key pressed.
22:03:20saratogathis would increase battery life for FLAC, MPC, Ogg and Vorbis users

22:06:10gevaertssaratoga: I've never tested this, so I have no opinion on the technical side, but I wouldn't do this before 3.0
22:07:10*gevaerts is on the cautious side of the freeze debate
22:09:28saratogagevaerts: yes I won't be doing that soon
22:10:06saratogai'd really like to see MP3 bettery optimized before doing it, since thats probably what most people use

22:42:25amiconnsaratoga: Last time I tried, both ogg and wma needed a good deal of boosting on PP. So lowering the core clock won't help runtime for these formats, and neither for mp3
22:43:09 Quit Horscht ("I am root. If you see me laughing, you better have a backup")
22:43:27amiconnIt would only increase jerkiness. Even though UI *seems* to be fast at 24MHz, the differences between normal and boosted would become more visible
22:44:03bertrikthe software puts the CPU in sleep mode when possible, right?
22:44:33amiconnTry playing music that needs some boosting, then run oscilloscope and see what I mean. You'll probably see similar effects in jewels animations, choper...
22:44:48amiconnbertrik: Yes, but that's the cpu core *only*
22:44:48 Quit mf0102 ("Ex-Chat")
22:45:11amiconnThe other core will continue running, as will all the peripheral devices (lcd bridge, ata controller, ...)
22:45:51bertrikbut they are not affected by the boost
22:46:04bertrikI guess, or are they?
22:46:07amiconnThey are (well, most of them)
22:46:23amiconnlcd bridge runs from core clock, as does the ata bridge
22:46:33bertrikugh
22:47:07amiconnThe lcd bridge can be run from 24MHz, but for some reason this doesn't work on all targets using it (or maybe we just don't know which other bits we should adjust)
22:47:20amiconnAnd it's not desirable anyway, for speed reasons
22:48:12gevaertsActually, now that you mention it... Does file copying inside rockbox boost the CPU?
22:48:35bertrikgevaerts is thinking about the sd corruption problem because cpu is boosted when usb is active?
22:48:43gevaertsindeed
22:49:07amiconnI don't know
22:49:19 Join jhulst [0] (n=jhulst@unaffiliated/jhulst)
22:49:52bertrikwe could simply boost the cpu in the debug menu for a sd transfer test
22:50:01amiconnAnd btw, I would expect glitches in certain PP peripheral devices when switching clock while transferring data, not when running continuously (whether boosted or unboosted)
22:51:03gevaertsbertrik: can you still reproduce the corruption?
22:51:05amiconnThat's the reason why the greylib on PP needs to boost the CPU - the mono bridge doesn't like to be active when a clock switch occurs. And boosting is the only reliable way to prevent clock changes without hampering performance
22:51:20bertrikgevaerts, sorry, never even tried to test it
22:51:34amiconnFor normal lcd updates this isn't an issue, but the greylib lcd updates happen from within an isr

23:13:17saratogai wonder if the large difference in power consumption between the Apple and Sandisk firmwares is just figuring out ways to work around the PP clock restrictions
23:13:27saratogawell that and codec optimization
23:14:49linuxstbWhat iis the difference?
23:15:46saratogalinuxstb: between the firmwares?
23:16:08linuxstb"the large difference in power consumption"
23:16:41*amiconn wonders how to even measure the difference between Apple and Sandisk OF
23:17:57bluebrothercomparing apples with disks?
23:18:06saratogalinuxstb: the Nano 1 G was rated for 14 hours off a 400mah battery, while the E200 gets about 20 hours off a 750mah battery

23:18:33saratogai've tested the E200 with a DMM and confirmed that Sandisk's claim is about right
23:19:22saratogawhile I wouldn't be surprised if Apple pads their estimates a bit, thats still a very large difference in average current consumption
23:20:03linuxstbIt's different hardware though.

23:20:33saratogaamiconn: I tested with the display off on the E series
23:20:35amiconn..both in terms of pixels and physical size
23:21:42saratogaadditionally, comparing rockbox to the OFs, we beat the Sandisk firmware, but fall quite short of the Apple firmware
23:23:34bertrikmaybe apple uses the COP more efficiently. I was under the impression that our PP settings were at least partially rev-engineered from the apple firmwares
23:24:35saratogain theory we use the COP most efficiently by keeping it disabled and having a sparse GUI that consumes very little CPU time
23:25:18saratogathough I really have no idea what the OFs actually use the COP for, since the Apple firmwares have pretty sparse GUIs on the PP targets as well
23:25:47amiconnMaking better use of the cop would have 2 advantages
23:26:36amiconnIt helps keeping the ui responsive under high decoding load, and since processing is split between 2 cores, the average clock can be lower
23:27:02amiconn...which helps saving a bit of power in the pp peripheral modules
23:27:37amiconnBut we're not using the cop yet, with 2 exceptions: mpegplayer and the greylib
23:27:38saratogaBuschel and I have not been able to measure any nonlinearity in the power/clock curve for the PP502X
23:27:52saratogaso either we're doing something wrong or its very small

23:28:15saratogaI suppose I should go back and measure 16, 30, 60 and 80 MHz one of these days
23:28:20amiconnsaratoga: You won't measure a nonlinearity if you're comparing the same amount of cop usage
23:28:49saratogaamiconn: Buschel tested by adjusting the min and max clock speeds to force it to spend more time at one or the other
23:29:03amiconnYou would need to compare e.g. one core running full load at 60MHz, and the other one idling, vs. both cores running full load at 30MHz
23:29:51saratogaamiconn: thats one way to do it, but its easier to just compare running 50/50 at 30/80MHz and an equivilent load split between 16 and 80MHz
23:29:52bertrikI guess it would be tricky to have a codec run on two processors (and balance the load evenly)
23:30:25amiconnsaratoga: That's not the same
23:30:31saratogahow so?
23:30:43gevaertsThat would be tricky, but maybe you could do the codec on one code and dsp on the other
23:31:09bertrikah yes ofcourse
23:31:11amiconnAs long as the clock average stays the same (at it will if the processing load is the same), the peripherals will also see that same average clock
23:31:33saratogaamiconn: exactly, thus allowing you to see if the clock-power relationship is linear or not
23:31:37amiconn...hence their average power consumption stays the same
23:31:47amiconnYes, and I don't expect it to be
23:31:56saratogaamiconn: well thats what we were testing
23:32:03amiconnErr, I expect it to be (almost) linear
23:32:46amiconnMy point was a different one: If we can balance processing load between cpu and cop, the *avera* clock will be lower
23:32:52amiconn*average
23:33:08saratogaI don't think thats true?
23:33:19amiconn?
23:33:19saratogaparticarly since we can't independently clock the two cores
23:33:40amiconnSure it is
23:33:51saratogaat best 2x 40MHz cores == 1x 80MHz, and perfect parallelization is extremely unlikely
23:34:18amiconnYes, but then the *peripherals* will save power (cause they're clock the same as the cores)
23:34:26saratogamore likely which ever core gets the codecs will be hammered, and the other nearly idle
23:34:58amiconnAgain: don't limit your view to the cores
23:35:08amiconnThe PPs are SoCs
23:35:18saratogaamiconn: but adjusting the min clock to change the boost ratio while keeping the average clock constant didn't impact battery life measurablely, so I don't think theres any difference here
23:35:42saratogaif the SOC components mattered, reducing the min clock should have increased power consumption since they'd be boosted more
23:35:56amiconnPlease rethink this. If the average clock stays the same, it will also stay the same for the peripherals
23:36:18amiconnBut if both cores do actual work, the average clock will be lower
23:36:36*gevaerts thinks that amiconn has a point

23:37:34saratogathough measuring this could be extremely difficult
23:38:18amiconnWell if you have a way to measure the current, it shouldn't be too difficult
23:38:28saratogawhat test would you have in mind?
23:38:43amiconn(1) Set the clock to 80MHz, and let the CPU perform a dumb loop while the cop is idling
23:39:03amiconn(2) Set the clock to 40MHz, and let both CPU and COP perform dumb loops
23:39:17amiconnNow compare current
23:39:22saratogayes that should work
23:40:12saratogaI guess this I should look at the mpegplayer plugin and try to figure out how to make both threads spin
23:40:23saratogashould be easy enough to log current in labview
23:40:29 Quit phinze (Read error: 110 (Connection timed out))
23:41:51saratogaif there is a large difference, how exactly would we exploit it?
23:42:11saratogaOgg uses something like 31MHz, and I think the display and DSP overhead is only another 3-4 MHz
23:42:30saratogaour problem would seem to lack parallelism
23:42:32amiconnThere were plans to make the codec run on the cop
23:43:03saratogayou think a few MHz drop in average clock is likely to make up the cost of having the COP on in the first place?
23:43:05amiconnThe problem is passing data between the cores. It either needs to be put in iram, be uncached, or need cache flushes
23:43:40amiconnThe cop is on anyway. And if a core has nothing to do, it goes to sleep until the next tick anyway
23:43:56saratogapassing between cores could be worked out easily enough I think using IRAM, although it would require looking at a few of the codecs I'm not familar with
23:44:02gevaertsThat display and dsp overhead is for default settings. It's easy to make that go up a bit
23:44:28saratogaputting the output buffer in IRAM is usually pretty easy, since the output buffer can be shared with one of the codec's internal buffers
23:44:35amiconnThere would be an additional advantage if the COP does most of the work, and the CPU does UI, dsp, and buffering: buffering would happen faster, and hence the disk won't spin as long
23:45:14saratogai guess what we'd do is flip over the main codecs that don't already use IRAM, and then just put a wrapper that flushes on the others until we get around to fixing them
23:45:35*bertrik would like a nice picture on how the CPU / COP and peripheral clocks depend on each other :P
23:46:49amiconnCPU and COP clock are coupled. Either core clock can be stopped dynamically though, either for a fixed time (specified in clock cycles, microseconds, milliseconds, or second (on PP5022+ only)), or until an interrupt occurs
23:47:45saratogawhen its "stopped" is the core still clocked?
23:48:24saratogabertrik: theres some info about clocking in firmware/target/arm/system-pp502x.c
23:48:26amiconnMost peripherals seem to run from the main clock as well. The colour lcd bridge can be switched between the various sources (24MHz, PLL, and 2x PLL with prescaler) like the core clock can
23:48:59*amiconn would like to know how much power the PLL itself needs

23:50:01amiconnsaratoga: No, stopped means stopped.
23:50:05saratogaamiconn: buschel made a patch that disabled the PPL and ran at 24MHz (IIRC), but it made no difference in power consumption
23:50:13saratogai just assumed it wasn't really disabled though
23:50:14amiconnI.e. no clock until the defined event occurs
23:50:41saratogais this what we do to the COP?
23:50:41amiconnIt's a clock gate, controlled from outside the core itself
23:50:43bertrikI can imagine that it would be possible to run the cores at a relatively high clock (mostly idling) and running the peripherals from a fixed clock

23:54:44amiconnYou need to pass data in both directions
23:55:38amiconnAnd I'm not sure whether that's actually the case, but if codecs are accessing files directly, we would probably get into serious trouble
23:56:15amiconnThen all the file code, fat code, and ata/sd/whatever driver code would need to be dual core safe

23:57:28amiconnImo the COP shouldn't be allowed to access the file, fat, and ata api at all
23:58:10LearCodecs only use the buffer, afaik. The file API isn't in the codec API, is it?
23:58:21saratogaI don't think codec touch files directly, since they'd bypass the file buffer
23:58:39amiconnI mean stuff like open(), read(), lseek() etc
23:58:51LearMe too.
23:58:56saratogaso at a minimum, read_filebuf and pcmbuf_insert need to be thread safe
