Sorry about this double post (the same post is in the XviD-thread), hopefully this is tolerated because of the special situation...

Does anybody know a person who has a Sigma Designs XCard.
The reason is that Menno (FAAD/FAAD2 developer) would like to check the software which comes with it. Menno is looking for it:

That's the chip that supposedly does the decoding on Xcard. Then somewhere in that document I found this line:
"Low Complexity AAC (decoded using software on x86 host CPU)"

Does anyone have the software that comes with this card? I would like to have a look at it.

Sigma was asking previously if they could use FAAD2 "for free". Now after this XviD episode, it's not hard to guess what may have happened also in this case...

I've just visited the HA forum and it seems like menno got what he was looking for. Unless I hear otherwise I'm going to scrap the call for help in this which I wanted to put into tomorrow's news.

Yep, Roberto stated awhile ago on ICQ that he got the DLL he was looking for.
