For Frank:
Did I missed something or is my feeling that you're working on a dsp version of mpc right?

Hm, no replies in this thread yet... I can't believe that nobody is interested in this topic!? In several other threads I found people "complaining" that one major weakness of MPC is the lack of portable player implementations.

In my opinion a good start in this direction would be if somebody sits down and implements the MPC decoder on a DSP platform (preferably integer or fixed point arithmetics), then release it under GNU GPL.

So, my questions to the community are: Is there already an integer or fixed point MPC decoder? If not, are there any developers out there interested in this task?
I'm definitely interested in doing it myself, now looking for help / parteners.

About me: I'm an Amiga enthusiast and programmer. My trusty A1200 is equipped with a Delfina DSP sound board, featuring a Motorola 56002 DSP. I have written MPEG audio players for this hardware, including mp2 and mp3 decoders in DSP56K assembly language.
(links to my software can be provided, if requested)

so... request

DelfMPEG - stand-alone MPEG audio player (MPEG-1 Layer II and III)

delfinampeg.device - device driver (for GUI-based players)
http://us.aminet.net/pub/aminet/mus/play/dmdev.lha

Both programs use the same decoder routines (DSP) but are quite different on the host side (Amiga).
