For example lets say you are emulating a 68030 AMiga in WInUAE......evryone knows you cant play MP3's smoothly on a 68030 unless you have a hardware decoder like a MASPlayer or Delphina..............so, that said...can you tell AmigaAMP to use the PC's soundcard for instace to decode MP3's so that they play supersmooth on the emulated 68030 Amiga?
You don't need any hardware. Even if you tell WinUAE to emulate a 68020, it will still be as fast as if it was running at 1000MHz which is plenty enough to decode any mp3 stream.
AFAIK there is no way to use the PC's decoding hardware from within WinUAE. The AHI drivers mentioned above use the PC's sound card to *play* sound, not to decode mpeg streams.
However, I would never use WinUAE to view videos or to play mp3s. The big advantage of WinUAE is that you can easily switch between Windows and AmigaOS. You can use WinAMP to play mp3s in the background while you work with other AmigaOS programs. With WinUAE you can combine the good parts of both systems.
