The way I would integrate FAT support to MAD Max is to have a new type
of MP3 entry in the Audio soup which will simply refer to a file on a
FAT partition. This would of course require access from MAD Max to the
FAT file system, but if POSIX-like functions (e.g. open, close and
read) were available, it wouldn't be too hard. Adding would be either
done by importing a whole folder or by pointing MAD Max to single
files, all done through a simple file browser interface.
The playback part would need to have an addional FAT file handler, but
something needs to be done there anyway. The current way of scheduling
a whole VBO is not really UI friendly. A better way would be to revive
the old code which scheduled small buffers. Those could be read easily
from a FAT file.
