[s1mp3-dev] C compliance was Re: [Swan API] STDIO module - stdout consistency

[Rembrand van Lakwijk]

Maybe for debug builds this is useful in some cases, but this should 
certainly not be enabled in release builds because of the limited number 
of writecycles the NAND will handle before it starts to produce errors. 
Also, when using the player on a daily basis without further upgrading 
of the firmware or removing the log, it could get pretty big. I'm not 
saying it shouldn't be implemented at all, but it should a) be disabled 
in release builds, and b) the user should be warned of the fact that the 
player is in debug mode upon switching the device on. Ofcourse a debug 
console in the emulator would be a great idea, but I'm wondering how 
useful this emulator will be until we know every detail of the hardware 
- and by the time we know our hardware, all the essential kernel and api 
stuff will already have been written.
