SLOW! :)  It uses the same FFT that arts uses for artscontrol and such.  =
so,=20
about 15% of a P2/300.  Just replacing this will bring it from that to ab=
out=20
5%.

I doubt the MMX FFT is faster than the fftw (www.fftw.org), and the fftw=20
probably also has far fewer worst-case scenarios, it also runs on more=20
platforms.

What I intend to do is have a --with-libfftw and link to libfftw, otherwi=
se,=20
I'll use the current FFT, and later on, use a Fast Hartley Transform, whi=

CDDA, DND, FFT, MMX, That's a lot of acronyms :)


Well, I havn't.

It's a "it works" with a "but", or it's a "It doesn't work" with an "alth=
ough"
Basically, noatun will be able to read the CD, and copy a wav to disk (no=
t=20
quite as you'd hope for, no?) then play that.  Then arts will try to buff=
er=20
this entire 60mb :)
