Hi,

I don't know if any of the devs is still active here ?

I have a couple of questions related to the "N900 as an audiophile mobile player" thread :
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=83270

Rockbox is of course a prime candidate for this on the software side.

Here is what we need help on :

1) someone in that thread noticed that Rockbox on Maemon used gstreamer. Does this imply that mp3 and/or flac decoding is done using the DSP ?

2) Our main problem right now is that we can connect an external USB sound device (using h-e-n and power kernel), and stream sound to/from it using the new ALSA device (using mplayer or MOC in the console, and without DSP acceleration).
Unfortunately attempts to make this work with pulseaudio and Hildon apps have been unsuccessful so far...

Does anyone know if there's a way to force apps using gstreamer to a special sink? Or make autoaudiosink redirecting to it?

Rockbox has "pulsesink" as output sink hardcoded. Could this be made configurable ?

TIA,
fp
