[Bluez-devel] more encoder stuff

Guys,

It was fantastic listening to my headset on the bus today. I didn't have
to deal with the bluetake dongle at all... very nice.

I updated our project page http://bluetooth-alsa.sourceforge.net/

What should I be using if I want to encode live from the computer's
line-in? (I want to see if encoding on the computer results in shorter
latency than the bluetake dongle. Watching TV with the headset is
currently not all that fun because of the delay.)

Henryk, you were saying the reference encoder runs faster. Is there any
chance they are using vector processing like sse/sse2? Do projects like
xine and mplayer detect and use a vector processor through a library?

We should get Sonorix to send us a headset for testing. Have you had
much luck with vendor cooperation, Marcel? Right now in a2play we sort
of assume the headset will only report one codec and I suspect they
support mp3 natively. (It's possible they are pulling tricks like
transcoding into SBC before uploading mp3's to the headset's flash
memory I guess.)
