Thanks for the info. As a Linux enthusiast I've been wanting to get a Raspberry Pi to play with. This little project sounds interesting, though it seems like it's still in its infancy.
The real question is what does this buy us over an iPod or Squeezebox (albeit discontinued -- why?!!!)? In fact, I run Logitech Media Server on a Linux server to power my Squeezeboxes (one for each room, including the garage).
I think this needs to be productized in a slick package that's expandable and networkable with multiple other devices to gain some traction in the market. The Squeezebox products I think had the right idea, offering various levels of audiophile quality for different purposes (big rig vs garage, for instance) but all able to hook to the same music repository.
