I'm aware that it's technically possible to support other codecs with the MAS. Still, afaik there is no knowledge on how to program that chip itself (is there even a free compiler around?) so it's highly unlikely to happen. Another issue is the CPU power that is needed inside of the MAS, and afaik it isn't capable of decoding higher demanding formats like vorbis. In this case I just simplified the situation to "not possible" even if that is technically not exactly correct (even if I usually try to be exact, but this is not rockbox-dev so I didn't want to complicate the issue). Nevertheless, thanks for noting. - Dominik Received on 2007-05-03 Page template was last modified "Tue Sep 7 00:00:02 2021" The Rockbox Crew -- Privacy Policy |
