A major issue that you'll run into is Jack support. All
information i've seen is that the rt patches haven't been
ported to arm, so you'll experience alot of xruns, and not be able
to get very low latency. if you want a portable device for audio,
you'll probably want to get an atom based mid, and tweak it.

This is an important consideration for real time operations. What I am
particularly interested in is netjack on ARM but I can sacrifice realtime
for my specific needs...
At the moment I just want to get Android up and running so I can tweak it
from there. A it can now also be installed on the iphone (at least in
console mode) it has the potential to make a great future proofed platform.
The Atom platform looks like it will be more viable in the near future with
Ion looking like a very serious breakthrough if Nvidia can make sure they
don't F up the gpu drivers for Linux, if they even release them as I'm sure
they won't be FOSS for a while.
I am also in the process of experimenting with the VIA pico/nano-itx systems.
Cheers.
