I'd be interested in hearing if anyone's used Efika boards in this type of
application. Granted, the apps need to have been ported to PPC, but these
things are pretty inexpensive (US $99) and seem to have pretty decent power
given their very small size and low cost:

I put in an order a few days ago, and can't wait to get my hands on it and
get Debian onto it. Looks like lots of potential for interesting embedded
apps...

As far as I know Gumstix would require you to
crosscompile a lot of
stuff to get it running, not worth the hassle. I would recommend more
compatible solutions like the mentioned VIA boards. For a freelance
project I had several embedded computers here. A Via system which was
smaller than Shuttles, passive cooled with 500mhz. It could include a
hdd but I ran it from CF card. But my favorite was a smaller system of
the size of 3 CDs stack, 166 Mhz with 128mb and driven by a CF card. It
even has audio in and out but I dont had the chance to check it out
because I have to ship it to the customer soon. Later I can send some
links but I am in a hurry now...
There is a version on PD for ARM that uses integer maths:

There is a gumstix port on the web page!
Should be able to knock up some kind of recorder and synth with it.
Cheers,
