OK this is not me having a go at the Rockbox devs. But I need to get this off my chest. Development of the audio side seems to have slowed dramatically after all the hoo ha about Linus getting a lot fo the hardware side working. I know they do it for free. I know I have NO right to complain. But it does seem that all the effort is going into 'games' type addons rather than what the thing was made for which is playing music. I myself am itching to get even basic MP3 playback using Rockbox. Mainly for the gapless mode and OTF playlists etc.
I do of course realise that the audio playback architecture for seamless codec integration is a big job. I also realise that the LCD on the remote needs a lot of work too (Saw the bit about the specs for the remote LCD being obtained BTW). I just wish there were more people capable of coding the audio side of things than the gimmicks side of things
This is just me whinging. Please do not take this personally. If I could code I'd be doing it myself and helping out. As soon as the audio side of things are there I will feel something worthwhile has come about (Games mean little to me) and a donation will be winging it's way to Rockbox when it does.
But currently reading about 'Hey we go Pokemon gameboy running on it' kinda just makes me feel a bit frustrated (Good for you gamers and gimmick people obviously)
OK got that off my chest. Please do not flame me for my own selfish wishes
