Vorbis 1.0 for PS2 Linux

Posted by timothy on from the make-a-joyful-low-bitdepth-noise dept.

Jucius Maximus writes "As announced on the Ogg Vorbis site, PS2/Linux developer Brad Barclay has built Ogg Vorbis libraries for PS2 Linux. I'm not seeing any encoder tools there yet, but this has implications in third party multimedia development on the platform, making it potentially cheaper for people to develop applications with music due to Vorbis's non-hostile licensing."

    For the love of god lease stop!
    PS/2 is NOT Playstation 2.
    Its an old IBM computer range.

      Seeing as the PS/2 line stopped with early 486's, it'd be interesting to see an ogg decoder that can work in real-time on a PS/2.

      Ummm... while I agree with you 100%, there is nowhere in the writeup that has the string "PS/2" (pea ess forward-slash two). It does have the string "PS2" (pea ess two), which is more commonly accepted for the Sony hardware.
      Nothing personal, and it's not a flame, just an observation.

      The MicroChannel 32-bit bus architecture more than makes up for the slowness of the CPU for MP3 decoding :).

    I submitted this but it shows as rejected:

    * 2002-08-17 00:51:38 Ogg Vorbis for Playstation2 Linux (articles,music) (rejected)

    I'm not complaining ... just wondering why it happenned. Also, please note that I did not call the PS2 by the wrong 'PS/2' name. You can blame timothy, hehe.

    I thought all you have to do is to recompile libogg and libvorbis with -mmips or whatever CPU PS2 has. What have to be done more?

      Yeah, but he's done that and made RPMs for it. But don't forget that anything where you mention PS2 and Linux seems to instantly create some kind of excitement on this site.
