Playing MP3 on an old 386DX PC

Would you believe that 386 can smoothly play MP3 files? When I started to play MP3s on my 1st PC 486DX4/100 it was possible but with 100% CPU load so I couldn't work on PC while playing. Now it turned out that optimization and lowering the quality makes it possible even on 386, thanks to nocash mp3 decoder 1.5 [ http://problemkaputt.de/mp3.htm ]. Unfortunately this player needs Win32 to run (crashed with HXDOS) so I have to install Win95 OSR2, it's on a SSD to run faster. Soundcard: SB AWE 64 MB: KMC-A419-8 , 256kB L2 cache, 16MB RAM, no FPU required http://rayer.g6.cz/hardware/retropc2.... On Am386DX-40 I have to use /mono and /half switches to lower output quality to 22kHz mono. On Tx486DLC-40 it runs much faster so only /mono or /half is needed. Source MP3 was 128kbps/44kHz/stereo [ http://desmonddoom.bandcamp.com/track... ] but the bitrate doesn't matter much, I can play also 320kbps MP3 on 486DLC with the same quality but on 386 it had some dropouts so I have to go with /quarter /mono (11kHz mono output).
