Try /dev/audio instead. Your machine should easily be able to plain .au
files - they're very low quality.

Dunno - see rest of this thread. I've found the integer version of
splay is the fastest - above madplay and xaudio; see what kind of
performance you get with that decoding to a file. I suspect that an
ARM 6 will never play MP3s without a player that doesn't have large
amounts of assembler.
