[vorbis-dev] Implementing Vorbis in hardware

[mooseman]

this may not be a valid comment, but some of the mp3 players, i am thinking 
directly of the RCA Lyra, market themselves specifically as upgradeable for 
new formats.... so they must use non dedicated mp3 decoders, but rather 
some type of flash based software to support  new/different formats....

i wonder how hard it would be to interest them in this format?

just a thought...
