Dreamcast Audio Question

I never understood why the DC didn't support other types of audio compression. I know that a few DC apps use "ogg" for instance.

Is there any reason that ogg or flac compression of "sou" files isn't possible?

Best thing for you would be to ask the DC porter, Marcus Comstedt, directly.

That said, my guess would be memory and speed constraints. Do those other apps that have ".ogg files" around do a lot of computations besides playing the music in them?

It's probably the memory issue, oh well.

I asked because I didn't know if it was a technical issue, or had just never been implemented.

Thanks.
