Why not run the linux that already comes with the n900. Or are you that fixed
on sending google all your data ;-)
You also need to consider that having limited FPU
performance may imply
having multiple apps running DSP code is out of the question, which
implies Jack (as an audio distribution server) is of limited use.
But I do think, running one organ synth standalone would work. Only a matter
of getting the midi-data from the keyboard into the phone.
And a matter of stopping the foh-tech from killing himself laughing when you
plug in you request a DI-box and connect your stereo-mini-jack-to-two-mono-
jacks adaptor to connect your phone for making music.
And then you have to make sure no one calls you during the show, otherwise
your girlfriend/wife/mother speaks to you over the big pa :-P
this could actually be a nice element of the show.
(if you like my music, call me.)
and mom would call to end the show :)
