27 Jul '01

Update of /cvsroot/mplayer/main/mp3lib In directory mplayer:/var/tmp.root/cvs-serv16096 Added Files: dct64_sse.s Log Message: First development version of dct64, mixed with 3dnow/k7 and fpu code. Phases 1 to 3 seem to be ok already, report if you get strange sound with this version (klicks or distorted sound, that doesn't happen with mmx-only version), I've tested with approx. 20 mp3 files which all sounded ok, speed improvement with this version is still very minimal cause more cpu intensive phases 4 and 5 aren't working so I use fpu code for them. --- NEW FILE --- # This code is a translation of dct64_k7.s from MPlayer. # Coded by Felix Buenemann <atmosfear at users.sourceforge.net> # # TODO: - fix phases 4 and 5 (sse) # - optimize scalar FPU code?
