sox is way too slow, mpg123 has problems with scalling from 44,1 to 8 kHz=

mpg123 has fairly optimized /2 and /4 scalling routines.

Ah, found, sf hides the other programs a bit.

ok, then I'll stick on Dillo.

Now I'll trying a few texteditors like microemacs, abiword and search for
a table-programm like the Sheets-program. After that perhaps a good
ebook-reader for wikipedia and gnuplot. Then I use Linux as the standard
OS in the school, too :-)

Then I'll explore the SDIO-bus, which seems to be at the serial connector=
,
too. It would be more than great to have a simultan WLAN-card and memory
card! Perhaps I'll try to use it as a remote controller, too, as the
irda-led seems to be quite strong *dreaming*

P.S. Ah, my ML-problems seems to be solved, too.
