A post on Slashdot today stated that a LGPL WMA decoder has been released (as part of ffmpeg). Might be nice to add this decoder to the list supported by the Rio Receiver. Not sure if this decoder is CPU intensive or if it requires FPU. However, since the orig. RIO software can decode WMA, I suspect this can be hacked to do the same.

Yeah, I dropped by this board to see if anyone had posted about it yet. Looks very interesting. Not that I'm a fan of WMA (I don't believe I have even a single WMA file...) but supporting as many decoders as possible is always a nice goal.

That ffmpeg code uses lots of FPU, from the look of it; it won't be running on Rio Receivers until someone does an integerised version of it.
