[MPlayer-users] Mplayer got "stuck" when playing song

[Bennett]

It doesn't need to be fast at all... I have a Pentium 100 (sans-mmx)
and it has no trouble with mp3 playback. However, it does have trouble
doing other things at the same time.

However, its a safe bet that the x86 code for mplayer is a lot better
optimised than the mips32 code, so you may need something a bit
beefier than 100MHz.

Bennett.

PS. when you reply, don't forget to make sure it's addressed to the
mailing list!
