cheesecake:
Is it possible to add support for audio formats that are not native to rockbox?
Like winamp's plugins that allow it to play other file formats.

AlexP:
Yes, you can port a codec to Rockbox (bearing in mind things liked conversion to fixed point, no malloc(), etc) - that is how the vast support for current formats got there.

You could implement it as a plugin I believe, but as it wouldn't be integrated properly with the playback engine, it would have very limited point.  Much better to make it a codec.

Out of interest, what format do you miss?

Febs:
There are no plugins that allow support for additional codecs other than those included with the Rockbox build, so no, it is not possible to add support for additional codecs in that sense. What codec are you looking for that Rockbox does not already support?

cheesecake:
The format I wanted to use was .brstm
I have a winamp plugin to read it, but was having trouble converting it to a useable format, so I didn't know if it was possible to have something like this.

LambdaCalculus:
What is .brstm? Can you tell us more about that codec?
