Hello all!
I'm looking for a MP3 decoding lib faster than libmad, probably solely written in Intel assembler. I currently use libmad 0.15.1b to stream MP3 files into WAV sound buffers and I need to improve the performance. The mere task of streaming a single audio file saps about 11 milliseconds (@1.8GHz). libmad uses inline and asm here and there, but the costliest parts (frame decoding and synthing) are written in C, optimized for speed but still C. So, my question is if there's anything freely available that decodes faster than libmad?
kind regards Jens Lippmann
