Thank's for the tip MadMan2k,
if it is already there, i think i wait for a few more days until it pops up in the "official" extra repo. Up to now, i still don't know what happens if you install an application from one repo which is moved to another repo afterwards. Does this affect updates, dependencies ? Anyway, i hope that it will be in extras sooner than later

I've installed one of the media player extensions to play OGG which works well, but it won't automatically open them from the filemanager. (and GNUmeric doesn't open xls files). Is there a way to fix this?

Search for How To : Associate MPlayer, Transmission, and other apps as default handlers it should give you what you want.

The devs will be forced to implement ogg support sooner or later, Firefox is going to include support for it natively in its inclusion HTML5 tag support for <audio> and <video> starting with Firefox 3.1. Unless someone at Nokia wants to be as hard-headed as they have been so far about their position on supporting it.

I wonder, what if someone accidentally leaked the TI IDE for the DSP? Say, on a torrent seeded by a few remote servers out of arm's length of the law? I am not advocating piracy, but by proverbially "letting the cat out of the bag" would force some hands on either developing software or sitting on their software patents trying to chase ghosts who obtained it illegally. It's like how music/movie industry figured out that if you don't make a piece of music that has been released available, people will make it available for you.

I, of course wouldn't (or would I?) do something like that with such lack of respect for intellectual property.

Just a small thought...

No, it isn't:

The existing tools are perfectly easy to use, the only thing to be gained from the IDE might be run-time debugging, but that requires (afaik) that one uses the Ti bridge software, which we don't.

There is a Garage project for Tremor-on-the-DSP (dsp-tremor), I started it a long time ago, but there was little interest (and I don't use ogg files) so my motivation is generally lacking.

Unfortunatly not everybody speaks arm assembly natively..

The code is written in C, DSP asm will come later to optimise it.
