[MPlayer-users] Xcard for hardware MPEG-4 playing

[Brian Hall]

I looked for specs when the story first came out, didn't see any.
Contact Sigma Designs and ask about Linux drivers, or getting the
specifications so open source drivers can be created.

If the specs can be made available, I'd make a donation toward getting
A'rpi one of these cards (say, $10 or so- got ten people who'd want
it?)
