Re: [oc] MP3 Encoder?

[Daniel Haensse <daniel.haensse@alumni.ethz.ch>]

Hi folks,

we are looking for a mp3 engine for our openhardware project. We use a 
68vz328 running with 33MHz that is too slow to decode mp3 stuff with usuable 
sound quality. At the moment we will use decoder from www.vlsi.fi but with 
the onboard acex 1k50 featuring some kind of data engine it might be cool to 
implement the mp3 decoder (the 68vz328 may pump data from the ethernet or 
build in ide disk). We use linux as OS. Check www.dragonix.net
