I've never encoded an mp3 before so I thought I'd take a stab at it. Here are my results. I have a K6-2 350 w/ 128mb of ram (running -current) using the 'gogo no coder' port (ports/audio/gogo) which includes 3D-Now! optimisations so that may help. The track is 8:12 long (a nice tune from the rave scene in '92, btw). Encoded at 128kbps, the output from the encoder is below (mostly in Japanese so excuse the mess :): norn[~/mp3]% gogo trip_ii_the_moon.wav out.mp3 午後のこ〜だ ver.0606 3D Now! is available. ファイル入力形式 : RIFF-WAVE FMT 再生周波数 : 44100 Hz 入力チャネル : 2 ch 入力サイズ(byte) : 87081984 byte データ始点(byte) : 44 byte MPEG 1, layer 3, 聴覚心理 2, ステレオモード 周波数=44.1kHz 全ビットレート=128kbps エラー保護[無効] 入力ファイル名 `trip_ii_the_moon.wav' 出力ファイル名 `out.mp3' frac SpF=0.959 slots/frame = 417 音声データの読み込み終了 (x 0.72) re:[00:00:00] to:[00:05:54] 平均 slots/frame = 417.959; b/smp = 2.90; br = 128.000 kbps エンコード終了 passed time= 354.18sec 354:492 = 0.71:1.. not bad.
