If I understand the purpose of the xine and framebuffer plugins correctly, they, too, are alternatives to dxr3.
They are.
Have you tried them as well?
Makku said he has a P350, that won't handle the software decoding.
Are they more stable?
Reading the ML, it seems to. Softdevice has reached a really good level these times. Whoever would like to test a simple and efficient alternative to hardware decoding (FF / Dxr3) should test the latest softdevice release 0.1.1. Really impressive : fast response, stable, etc. Softdevice uses one of the 4 output methods : frame-buffer, DirectFB, vidix, Xv. Choose the one that best suits you (frame-buffer is slow an 16 bits only, DirectFB uses video acceleration + alpha, vidix needs root access for specific VGA cards, Xv needs an X server running)
I'm just curious because I might want to move *away* from the FF card in the future because of ARM crashes, low bandwidth and high price.
Test softdevice if you have at least 800Mhz-1Ghz ;-) That's not an easy task, but the result is rewarding.
