I've been able to build the Rockbox UIsimulator for the C200 on the Raspberry Pi model B wheezy distribution & it works!

Furthermore, stereo Rockbox sound comes out of the Raspberry Pi when you plug headphones into its analog stereo plug.

So, the Rockbox UIsimulator can be used as a music player for the Raspberry Pi !!

Compiling Rockbox on the Raspberry Pi isn't terribly fast, but then neither is compiling on VirtualBox.

Furthermore, the Raspberry Pi was idle, and my other machines weren't.

The Rockbox UIsimulator works fine on X-Windows; or at least the graphical interface part works, but the sound still comes out of the analog port on the Raspberry Pi itself.

Does anyone know how to pipe sound back through a ssh X-Windows session ?

saratoga:
Why not just run the sim directly on the local machine rather than pipe it through ssh?

toehser:
When I want to remote audio from place to place, I use Pulseaudio, which has a lot of remote/local client/server stuff.

I guess though, with Rasberry Pi, couldn't you just run Audacious, VLC, or XBMC? :)

I mean... I love Rockbox... but... I use it on a Clip Zip... on Linux, I use Audacious and GMusicBrowser and VLC and Audacity and Ardour.

VLC already has a ZILLION ways to control/display/plugin/input/output ... probably a better fit for ANY purpose, when you can run it.

I love VLC, as well, and I'd love to have VLC running on my music & video players.  (But look what happened with VLC tried to put it on the iPad !)

Is there a stripped down version of VLC that could be incorporated into Rockbox ?

toehser:
VLC on Rockbox? Ridiculous.  Rockbox isn't an operating system, it's DAP firmware.
I'm talking about, if you have a Raspberry Pi, for in car hardware, Rockbox is probably not the best fit, why not run VLC (or whatever) on the Raspberry Pi?
I mean, Raspberry Pi runs Linux... There are thousands of choices that were not limited by the factors that limited Rockbox.
Or use a Beagle Bone:)
After all - the thread reads as if you haven't bought it yet... I like Beagle Bone better than Raspberry Pi... IJS...
Actually, strike that - the Beagle Bone has audio over HDMI, but the Pi has a 3.5mm connector, easier for a car.
VLC already runs on the Pi... and has so many options for input/output/control/etc...
