Where?
I just added a bunch of FSO tickets to "http://docs.openmoko.org/trac/"
which has an "FSO" option in the milestone pulldown menu. Then I found
"trac.freesmartphone.org"

I spoke too soon. They both work at the same time, which was not the
case in 2007.2. :)
However, they're still both CPU hogs... I've been looking into the ogg
stuff a bit. I think the first step is to update the ivorbis package.
That'll make it easier to try the low-mem branch and tremolo. I tried
doing this a while back, but got runtime linker errors from gstreamer.
Then I got busy with other things.
There are also some other potential issues. I think gstreamer is doing
software volume control, and there might be some grossness involving
ARM's synchronization primitives. Unfortunately, I haven't gotten a
profiler working to see exactly where the cycles are going.
