Hi

Currently I am using a Sigmatel 36xx chip playing low bitrate vorbis audio (it lives in an audio only toy I have developed)

There's a LOAD of video functionality on the chip that I do not require and thus I have started looking about for (cheaper) alternatives on to which to port my firmware.

Given that this place seems to be a good location for information on all things ogg does anyone have any idea where I can start to look?

Any ideas gratefully received.

Best regards,

http://wiki.xiph.org/index.php/VorbisHardware might be a good place to start. Looks like about half a dozen different vorbis playing chips on that list.

Hmm, why not try to make it support theora then? Add an lcd and you can have an mp4 like device

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think we'll pass on bringing a screen in to it (although it would certainly help debugging things in the field.)

And thanks for the link to the page in xiph.org. I must have missed that when i had a quick browse last week.

Funnily enough I had just stumbled across the VS1000 chip and started rubbing my hands with glee - i like the look of it.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards.
