That raises a (slightly off topic) question: When watching movie (say, Divx with MP3 soundtrack using Mplayer), what clock speed(s) would be optimal?

Is the movie completely decoded with DSP? Or part DSP part CPU? Is the Kernel (or Mplayer engine) smart enough to pick the best CPU/DSP speed combination for any given decoding task?
