pycage, while MPU-side decoding is the easiest way to go, DSP-
side will still be beneficial (albeit somewhat more
complicated). Whether the benefits are worth the effort is
another matter. The tools that you need to roll your own codecs
are available, and you can do this mostly in C without having to
resort to too much tms320c55x assembly. The biggest issue is
likely familiarizing yourself with the DSP kernel, the socket
node interfaces, and so forth. Most of this is documented pretty
well at the dspgateway page.  For the adventurous, there's still
an unused mailbox line between MPU and DSP on 1710 in the
current implementation that could probably be round-robin'ed
pretty easily. We also presently don't make use of hardware page
table walking, which makes the exmap interface a bit clunky
(essentially wiring TLB entries by hand, but at least they're
pre-faulted).  It would also be interesting to see how the FP-
driven codecs compare to the intege
