You only need about 133MHz for what you're
doing. Some ideas:
- Use a 133Mhz PC
- Use a laptop (better power management than a 1999-era desktop PC)
Thanks.
I thought of both, but still too power-hungry. How about something
that runs off of a wall wart? My DSL modem with ARM7 CPU runs Linux
and supports ethernet--it just don't have a sound chip. I don't need
video a CD-ROM, hard disk or floppy; just network access with the
ability to flash from the network. Even one of the VIA C3 boards is
more than I need.
Any other ideas?
I would suggest the MediaMVP, but it does not support RA streams.
Only MP3 with the included software, MP3, OGG, AC3, FLAC and
uncompressed WAV with the open-source media player.
Cheers,
Bryan
