Just wondering, if in opus we should be doing --enable-fixed-point? :
https://archlinuxarm.org/packages/arm/opus/files/PKGBUILD
At the moment we compile don't do this, now this would make sense on machines with a good floating point unit; but do we have this on arm?
Has anyone tried the fixed point implementation vs floating point?
I've not yet tried building this with fix point - will do when I get time (and probably reinstall gcc on my nas). Reason for me that its important, is that my CD collection, encoded as flac, is now only on the NAS - it was using too much space on the desk top (yes I have a huge number of CDs). Now this means when I convert to opus (which is now default) for desktop and portable, I do this on NAS - as its the reference source.
But on my NSA325 openenc can only do a high quality encode at something like 50% of real time. When I did the mass transformation to opus, the command on the NAS took several weeks to run, and make its way though all the albums. So if it speeded things up just a tad, this would help.
Has anyone looked at this? Or do I just add it to my list of things to do?
