Thanks, GNU project. Thanks for this:
xargs sh -c 'emacs "$@" < /dev/tty' emacs

Launches the minimum number of copies of Emacs needed, one after the other, to edit the files listed on xargs' standard input. This example achieves the same effect as BSD's -o option, but in a more flexible and portable way.
It is a great relief to know how flexible and portable GNU xargs is every time I have to look up that incantation in the man page. Taunting me with BSD xargs' -o option is an especially nice touch.

Unbelievably, 8 GB RAM is starting to feel cramped. I wish this motherboard supported more.

@c99koder Ah, interesting. Thanks!

@c99koder Sure. Were you building against the right API? Nectroid targets 3, but builds against 4.

@c99koder Heh that would do it. w00t!

@c99koder I've only tested it on the Nectarine and CVGM streams, which are 64-192 kbps CBR.

@c99koder Interesting. If there was a problem with the ringbuffer, varying the buffer size ought to have changed the frequency of the skips.

@c99koder If you're getting them more frequently though, I'm not sure. Are your streams CBR?
From Twitter: Tweet Aug. 25, 2010 6:41 p.m.
@c99koder When first starting the stream they're safe to ignore. Optimally, the streamer shouldn't output any PCM data until it's synched.

@Tmdean I've done that before :P

@tinysubversions @jzig ZZT seems to be a reliable indicator of awesomeness; maybe it really does belong on the resume ;)

@c99koder Hopefully it'll be done tomorrow. This thing is no MediaPlayer but it does seem to work :)

We have software decoding! Every Android 1.5 user now owes me a beer.

Data is streaming from nectarine into libmad, which is generating samples and error messages. Not sure if the samples are music :P

Figuring out the android NDK for my *third* attempt this weekend at getting Android 1.5 to stream MP3s.
