	I have access to several MIPS boxes, and would like to help porting
GStreamer to IRIX. As I understand it, all that really needs to be done
(apart from lots of testing! ;) ) is a gstirix.h needs to be created that
defines a few symbols. However, my assembly is not great, so I will need a
little help. The first question that springs to mind, is why was this done
in assembly? Surely it could be done in a more portable manner? Secondly,
can someone please explain EXACTLY what this asm code is supposed to do? I
get the general gist of it, but obviously need to be precise! Ideally a
simple test program would be beautiful....

Thanks!
