Hi Nicolas,
Your results are interesting.
I tried to reproduce them on my SA-1100 platform, but I continue to get results similar to my previous tests:
empeg:~# time ./splay-0.8.2-fp1 -d - WS010038.A08.mp3 >/dev/null
real 1m40.466s user 1m37.240s sys 0m2.450s
empeg:~# time ./madplay -o pcm:- WS010038.A08.mp3 >/dev/null MPEG Audio Decoder version 0.10.4 (beta) - Copyright (C) 2000 Robert Leslie WS010038.A08.mp3: 9550 frames decoded (4:09.4)
real 1m9.162s user 1m6.000s sys 0m0.980s
Since this file's audio playing time is 4:09, I calculate about 40% and 27% CPU respectively for splay and madplay. (This madplay is a developmental 0.10.4b not 0.10.3b but the results are still similar.)
Did you read README.ARM in splay's archive? For best performances you need to add some compiler flags by hand. Also you could use the splay binary included in the ramdisk image I mentionned in my last mail.
Or send me your both binaries so I'll try them on my system.
