According ogginfo and xmms, this 30s section averages 583kbps with peaks above 600kbps (!!), so it doesn't surprise me that playback stutters in the current rockbox/ihp combination. One option that *might* make decoding fast enough for these very high bitrates is the 'low accuracy' Tremor mode. This uses 8-bit coefficients for a lot of the tables, reducing memory bandwith at the expense of some extra shifting operations and (of course) reduced precision of the decoded stream. (Conjucture: maybe this is what the stock iriver firmware does?). However, I don't think it make much sense to use lower acuracy if it reduces actual sound quality. After all, what's the point of using Q10 if the compromises required to make it play on the Coldfire hardware result in WORST sound quality than, say a Q6-7 at full accuracy? But while this is all conjecture, I have to say that I'd much rather have be better accuracy at "sensible" quality levels than to strive for full compliance with extreme cases. For what it is worth, my oggs in Rockbox sounds much better to my ears than with the iriver firmware.
