Was there a justification why the Ledger Blue still has a proprietary HAL?

Tremor, the fixed-point decoder of Ogg Vorbis, came out in 2002. According to the Rockbox performance data, it requires about the same clock speed as AAC-LC. iPods and similar generally don't have fixed-function audio decoders. http:&

The author of Ogg wrote a reply to that article: https://people.xiph.org/~xiphmont/lj-pseudocut/o-response-1.... Anyway, I highly doubt the design of the Ogg container had anything to do with the popularity of Vor

It also found a niche market in video games, where it's very common to this day (there's an outdated list on the xiph wiki [1]). Netflix also used it on the Wii when they didn't have a system decoder available [2]. [1] https

You forgot to build ffmpeg with --enable-libopus. ffmpeg has its own reimplemented decoder, but relies on libopus for encoding.

According to rather old Rockbox benchmarks, their implementation of ALAC requires 3-4x the clockspeed as FLAC: http://www.rockbox.org/wiki/CodecPerformanceComparison On a positive note, Apple later released a reference

That does look like a stop-the-world garbage collector, just with a tunable maximum runtime.

The overlap between GIMP and Krita is quite large. In general, at this point Krita is mostly a superset of the GIMP - though I still use GIMP a lot due to familiarity. Also, Krita is a must for >8bit images at the moment.

It's already on by default in Firefox Nightly, so I suspect it will be shipped by the time such a port is made.

There is no supported 64 bit kernel yet, though.

I agree that the BBC Micro would be a great learning computer. The gap between a hobby program and commercial software is small - you don't get the training wheels feeling as with some other environments. Unfortunately the Micro:bit is

While VP9 encoding hardware is still rare, hardware VP8 encoding on Android is pretty common due to Hangouts and the Chromecast using it.

Firefox currently ships VP8 and VP9. It includes H.264 support not for concerns about it being "guaranteed free", but for web compatibility.

Downstream projects of FFmpeg such as VLC certainly have been affected [1]. The interesting thing is that most of the problems have been with audio formats - this is the first I've seen for an open source project using H.264. The Wikip

The latter. The standard does not specify the interface that the DRM blobs talk to the browser, or even that it's an interface at all as opposed to a built in feature of a proprietary browser.

None. On Fedora and Arch Linux at least, /bin, /lib, and /sbin are symlinked to the same directories in /usr/.

As a happy owner of a HackRF, I can say that this is better than the HackRF in basically every way other than the 5GHz band coverage. They have the advantage of producing their own custom chip, unlike the HackRF. To offer this at the same p

Ah okay, this explains a lot! I somehow thought that the initial boot happened on the QPU.

Yup. Check out the VideoCore ISA: http://www.broadcom.com/docs/support/videocore/VideoCoreIV-A... Note that in this case, the author is writing the bootloader firmware so performance isn't a major concer

You can already do digital audio on Android, either over OTG USB and normal USB Audio, or via the Android Accessory protocol. Presumably this would work just as well over a USB C connector. Adding DRM is a pure downgrade from this.
