Hi, I'm not sure whether this mail should go to devel or users, but i think it could be classified as a feature request, so sending to users. I'm just using my old Pentium 233 MMX box to play some 24kbps AAC+ stream and it takes 69% of CPU to play that, compared to ~13-15% for 128kbps-320kbps MP3. (libmp3 seems to have pretty good optimizations, just compare "ls libfaad2" and "ls mp3lib" in the mplayer source tree?). Even if AAC+ is a more advanced coding than MP3, it seems clear to me that this could be optimized, i'm just not a decoder expert and wish not to spend lots of time just to get to know the codebase etc. If someone wants to take on this, i could help by testing and maybe some mmx coding? -- urjaman
