Cool... so in theory, this could also work with an A600, just so long as it has a clock port too?

 If so, I know I'm going to want between 1-4 of them, depending upon the price.

The Ogg/FLAC decoding would come in very handy for both ScummVM and my SDL Mixer, how do you interface to them, is there going to provide some kind of library?

Also, can this card fit into an A1200 desktop?



 Dude, I like the way you think!

Can someone explain the basic functions of and the advantages to this device?
I have been using standard sound chips too long and I'm baffled as to why you would want something like this.

 

 I'm interested in it merely for the novelty of playing MP3's with minimal CPU grinding on my classic Amiga. Though my hope is that this ends up supporting AHI eventually, and I'd hope someone could come along and find a way to make it work with OctaMED. If not then maybe the next Digibooster will support it?

OK...but MP3 decoding can be done with one dirt cheap chip.
Why the programmable logic?
And, frankly, these days I'm more interested in FLAC.



I'm with you on the FLAC, though I know I won't want Gigs of MP3's on my Amiga's hard drive, so the few I'll have I'll just convert from FLAC, but yes, FLAC playback on Amiga would be awesome!

Thanks, we are working to get good software support for this product to make it really useful.  Hope to get direct support in things such as SCUMMVM and AmigaAmp - maybe FFMPEG would be a good candidate program.


Fingers crossed for AHI and Digibooster support as well. :)
