I just tried out the first thx test streams and it sounds awesome with my GUS PnP . I am thinking about that inserting an rc entry so that when the system starts I can play it 8) With mpg123 v0.59 the CPU utilization is less than 6 percent of CPU utilization on my PPRO 200Mhz !! Pretty cool stuff ... Worth putting up your posting on the multimedia web page at FreeBSD.org just have a link to mpeg3 and if anyone likes they can pretty up the mpeg3 web stuff. Tnks!
