127Q17. When do you think there is a version available for my Archos? 127Q17. I don't see you mentioning ogg files on your list of ideas. What about
128A17. The developers have discussed this. There has been a variety of 128 supporting those?
129A17. At the current time we belive this is not very likely (though
130 we are not completely closing out this possibility). The Micronas
131 chip (MAS3507) decoder in the archos does not natively support ogg
132 decoding and there is very little program space in the player to
133 implement it ourselves. The alternative would be to write a software
134 decoder as part of the RockBox firmware. However, as much as we love
135 our players, the computing power of the Archos (SH1 microcontroller) is
136 not fully sufficent for this need (Once again, this is not a definative
137 no. The world is full of brilliant people. We just aren't hunting
138 down all the ones not already involved with the project right this
139 instant).

130 guestimate would be 1 to 3 months before we have full working source 144 guestimate would be 1 to 3 months before we have full working source
131 for the Archos. Following that, we figure it should only be a week or 145 for the Archos (as of late April 2002). Following that, we figure it
132 two before we finish porting Quake II to the platform. (Please see 146 should only be a week or two before we finish porting Quake II to the
133 question 24 regarding this issue). 147 platform. (Please see question 24 regarding this issue).

135Q18. I don't see you mentioning ogg files on your list of ideas. What about

137A18. At the current time this is not considered a possible option. The
138 Micronas chip MAS3507 decoder in the archos doesnt support ogg decoding
139 and there is too little program space in the player to implement it
140 ourselves. The alternative would be to write a software decoder as part
