Hello

MK There is still no sound support. This is somewhat of an essential for
MK me. As I've started to use the Jornada, I've found the audible
MK reminders to be invaluable. I've come to realise that battery life may
MK be a bit of an issue if used as an OGG player, but I'd still like to
MK try.

What kind of processor does the 560 have? If it is anything like the 710
that I have, then the advice on
http://www.lowlevel.cz/log/pivot/entry.php?id=41 might be useful. It
recommends using madplay as it doesn't use the FPU, which keeps processor
usage down. Even then, there isn't much you can do while listening to
music.

Oggs tend to require a bit more processor (and therefor battery) power.
This is certainly noticeable with my Samsung Yepp.

Good luck with getting sound to work.

Swithun.
