So you can play a file with only 30% utilization because you're using
hardware decoding, but how much CPU does it take if you turn off
the hardware assisted decoding since that's what matters?  In order
to flag a recording, the commercial flagger has to decode and "play"
the recording and it can't do this using the hardware assist, so it
will take quite a bit more CPU.  I don't know how much though.
