It can be reprogrammed, but - there is too little memory for OGG and we have no documentation on how to - program the MAS' DSP. Doing the conversion with the CPU is impossible, since - a 12~MHz SH1 is far too slow for this daunting task. -\item Archos Multimedia support.\\ - The Archos Multimedia is a completely different beast. It is an entirely - different architecture, different CPU and upgrading the software is done - a completely different way. We do not wish to venture into this. Others - may do so. We will not. -\item Multi{}-band (or graphic) equaliser.\\ - We cannot access information for that kind of visualisation from the MP3 - decoding hardware. -\item CBR recording.\\ - The MP3 encoding hardware does not allow this. -\item Change tempo of a song without changing pitch.\\ - The MP3 decoding hardware does not allow this. -\item Graphic frequency (spectrum analyser).\\ - We cannot access the audio waveform from the MP3 decoder so we cannot analyse - it. Even if we had access to it, the CPU would probably be too slow to - perform the analysis anyway. -\item Cool sound effects.\\ - Adding new sound effects requires reprogramming the MAS chip, and we cannot - do that.
