WMA playback - congrats to all concerned!

Congrats to the developers of the new WMA codec.

Although it's early days yet, the Rockbox developer community, and the particular developers concerned, are to be applauded. I think support in ROCKbox for one of the world's most used codecs (like it or not!) is important.

Thanks again guys, from a total non-coder who nonetheless appreciates this step forward.

LambdaCalculus:
The Rockbox team has done it again! Once the codec gets cleaned up a bit more, that means...


GOODBYE, STOCK FIRMWARE!  ;D

AlexP:
Yep, whilst none of my music is in wma and I would never use it, I unfortunately get sent reports from work I have to listen to, naturally in wma.  Shortly no longer having to switch to the OF will be very pleasent indeed!

LambdaCalculus:
I don't use WMA either, but my iriver-toting friends have some music in WMA format that they want to listen to.

I already warned them about the awful performance of the codec on Coldfire targets, but they're patient guys and will wait for the codec to get cleaned up enough for performance to be acceptable.

Speaking of the subject, has anyone run new bench tests on the Coldfire targets with WMA files? I haven't heard anything new yet (and I've been away for a bit.)

ColdSphinx:
I prefer other formats than wma but I testet with a
199 kBit/s Windows Media Audio 9.2 VBR Quality 98, 44 kHz, stereo 1-pass VBR
and get about 108% realtime on a iaudio x5 with 13804 but still some very little lags while playing.
