FS#7436 - Equaliser, Crossfeeder and Pitch-Shifter optimisations needed on iPod

When enabling the software equaliser and/or the crossfeeder and/or the pitch-shifter (and possibly other features that modify the audio in real-time), the device begins to lag and has to rebuffer periodically as the buffer runs out.

The software equaliser is far worse than the crossfeeder, but both together is chaos! The Pitch shifter begins to lag at about 140-160% depending on the bitrate of the audio file.

Don’t flame me now! I know this is expected because of the processing power needed to enable these features, but I would like the developer community to be aware of it if they currently are not which is why I have submitted this report. Hopefully further optimisations can be made to reduce the amount of processing power that is needed and hopefully eliminate the lag in most or all situations.

Performance issues are not a bug.

To make this work better good support for the second cpu is needed, which is being worked on.

I believe the software equalizer is already as optimized as it’s going to get. Similarly the other DSP code is already reasonably optimised. At some point you’re going to have to accept that there are limits to the amount of processing that can be done with the CPU power available.
