Bloody hell...petur's been fiddling with analog recording.
He just got
12 hours with his H3x0 (stock battery) by not boosting cpu during recording.
Figures should be roughly the same on H1x0's.
This means with my 2200mAh battery I think I'd get about
18 hours analog recording time.
Nice work Petur!
This patch does not yet work with spdif recording.
Btw, the Rockbox 3.0 release has been delayed indefinitely largely due to a power-consumption issue with H3x0's. It looks like that problem may be close to (if not already) fixed, so hopefully that means 3.0 will be released soon.
The main impact of a 3.0 release, apart from having a recognised stable build, is that the feature freeze will be lifted. This means that developers who have been working on bug fixing will be released to work on new stuff, and developers who have been working on new stuff during the freeze will be able to commit their work.
