Update on this: I tried to get the HD version of elephant dreams
working with MPlayer and mga_vid . Looking at the numbers i get,
i assume that i'm missing around 10-20% of performance to play it
in real time. I think (but i'm not really sure) that it should
be possible to achieve smooth playback with DMA. But i would
need to try that first.
