That DSP opimized Theora decoder should be ported to gstreamer also, so native media player could play Theora video efficiently also.

Can anyone explain to the non-technical among us why this is a good thing?

- It frees up the CPU to do other things (e.g. only 20% CPU is used for full screen video playback).
- For signal processing related instructions, the DSP is more power efficient than the CPU. Therefore decoding video on the DSP should increase battery life.
Apart from that, that it is possible for anyone (who has the expertise) to develop code for the DSP of the N900 is cool.. and no other phone has DSP accelerated Theora decoding.

This is an interesting article on Theora decoding on the DSP of the N900:
http://blog.mjg.im/2010/04/16/theora-on-n900.html
it is also covered on Slashdot:
http://news.slashdot.org/story/10/04...Firefox-Mobile
The N900 is the first phone with DSP accelerated Theora playback
I did not find anything here or on internet.
http://wss.co.uk/pinknoise/theorarm/ seems to be work in progress.
Thanks in advance
