[LAU] Sampler project. First volley of questions

[Ronald Stewart]

On board sound no problem.
Transmission will run on those Via boards.
Go with a well maintained distro for audio or music, make sure it has RT and
take a look at Stretchplayer.
That base part of your build is already fully implemented so you can spend
time building up from there.
Good luck!

Thnx
